I set off a stink bomb <br />At the art opening of bad art. <br />It was funny how everyone started <br />Looking around as if they <br />Would somehow be able to see the smell. <br />People began fanning their faces <br />With their programs and an Asian <br />Woman actually held her nose. <br />When they discovered I was the culprit <br />They roughly escorted me out <br />Of the gallery and the owner told me what I <br />Did was adolescent and stupid. <br />I said the smell was only bad <br />In his subjective mind – who’s to say what’s <br />A good smell and what’s a bad smell? But <br />He had already gone <br />Back inside to help air out the <br />Gallery, which was my intention all along.<br /><br />Michael Philips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bad-art/
