Engineers
So - maybe you think
People who wield technology are
Obsolescent in your world of art,
Not in the 'know',
Unsophisticated, basic
And generally misinformed.
Maybe you think that they
Buy art to impress you,
Maybe even to flaunt money
Hoping to assure bonds with
Screaming poets and
Would be playwrights.
Or maybe you took a walk in
Sensible shoes that don't hurt your feet, with
Perspectives that leave more questions,
Eyes that leer at machines as
They do women in short skirts.
Imagination is a wonderful thing…
Maybe for a split second you understand,
Fleetingly, for the truth has past you,
But maybe you understand that car you drive
Was built by engineers and maybe
Just maybe
They feel the same for their art.
