Art is everyhwere now.

  Not in some stuffy museum that's
closed on Sunday and open on Monday.
   A place where you have to be quiet
and polite and not touch.  Know who
   did the work and when.
Their pretty lives.  Their petty
          lives.

  What body part they cut
     with knives.

   It's you and I and we're
  naked running on a carpet of
    clover.  The beautiful,
warm, wind touching us gently.

     No - More - Shame.

  We're painting canvasses with
the berries that fall off trees.
  And no one is protecting that
Van Gogh painting because it's in
a gallery on Mars which is only
hop, skip and a jump for beings
  who fly swiftly and can
drink sulfuric acid right out
   the cup without batting
           an eye.

   And art is everywhere now.

  And it is more beautiful too.
Because it is worth rescuing and
             saving.

  And we are running naked on
     a clover carpet.

     No - More - Shame.

And it is more beautiful to
forget than remember.  You
  forgot about longevity when
you learned to fly.  And I
forgot about sorrow when I
couldn't remember how long
     ago I cried.

I got something and gave
something and then forgot what
    the problem was.

Because the market or worldliness
  fell on that black day and no
one jumped out of windows unless
  they wanted to laugh directly
at the ground which they swerved to
  avoid as the sky lifted them
        ever upward.

  And art is everywhere now.

  And it is so much more
beautiful to forget than remember.

I can't help not saying I liked that a great deal and hope you make millions of it in a hugely famous song someday.

so what's it going to be then, eh?

I thought this was actually quite beautiful.
Not too sure about repetition of no-more-shame though but the first poem I've read today that really moved me :-)
