If there is anything I've ever done, <br />That has not been true to the gift I was given. <br />And represented to invoke the growth, <br />And the understanding of it. <br />I think that would be okay! <br />I've laid down some 'art'. <br />Not the greatest. <br />And perhaps rated, <br />As not my best effort. <br /> <br />I will be the first to agree. <br />I am still in My Father's <br />Creative hands. <br />There is going to be some blemishes, <br />Before enhancements. <br />Who doesn't know that's what this process is? <br />If it is not... <br />I am not the one to argue over your assessment, <br />About this and whatever this is we are living. <br />Would you agree with what? <br /> <br />'Would I agree with what? ' <br /> <br />That we are living? <br /> <br />'Man, I don't know what you're talking about. <br />You left me when you began opening your mouth. <br />Whenever your eyes start to glaze over... <br />I know you are about to receive a whiff, <br />Of some self contained joy. <br />But, <br />If I'm not mistaken. <br />I believe I asked you, <br />If you wanted to go to Eddie's and play pool! ? <br />'...I've laid down some art.' <br />What in the hell does that mean? <br />I've laid some down too. <br />And I was glad when that 'art' departed. <br />Shucks... <br />I can do a lap dance better than that! ' <br /> <br />I think we are understanding the same thing. <br />However, <br />My depictions do add a bit of 'color'. <br /> <br />'You drinkin' Jack 'and' smokin' crack? '<br /><br />Lawrence S.
