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
