High End

An art tart
Jean-Michel Basquiat, "Riding WIth Death" (1988) --- oil
or 
exploited?
Died in
vein
or then again
Same
by choice?

His voice 
scratchings on walls
and painted words
hatching moments
of disbelief
and grief 

Primitive by nature
dancer 
with death
and meth 
Means something
to me
this art martyr
pop hearter
The essence of his meaning 
bought and sold
Old 
High 
end

Fathomless

The deepest part of the bottom of the ocean
what chooses to live there?
Despair?
That one day it shall be gone
Unbeknown...
Live!
Like you're the deepest part of the ocean
and see
part of you
and me
and all others
and all things
Then - perhaps!
we will truly find...
What chooses to live
at the depths of you
and the depths of me
at the bottom of our oceans
and the floors of our seas.
