Oi! Artist!
Art wankers. This town is bursting at the seams with dicks who want to wave an exhibition pamphlet at you then wait til all the underage girls get drunk on the free piss in the backstreet gallery.
Oi! Artist! belongs to the following groups:
All Out Emotion, Freedom In Words & Art, Imperfectly, New Zealand Made and The Red Writing RoomOi! Artist!
spin me tales through time,
make reason rhyme!
...and he tries, so hard,
beads of sweat
collect
between the lines
that adorn the forehead of the bard
blood from a stone
the mortar of Rome
Art in the collective consensus,
a leather-bound tome
parchment and prose
rhythmical flows
drinks after a live show
promises, deals
thrust under your nose
trust in the applause from the
front row
answer the demands
of those who compose
the guest list for the opening
“let’s get you exposed”
expose this
pick up the phone
and call home,
there’s no answer
breath heavily after the tone
see how they like that…
put some bull shit
down on a beat and
discreetly
sell stimulants to your
boss’s niece
cos she’s hot
and you’re a fucking artist
so she’ll fuck you
on the spot
she’s wearing wayfarers and
she’ll hand you a ticket to the top
if you’ll paint her
and frame her
can’t say I blame her
she’s baked
but you…
show some fucking restraint
the woman thinks she’s your muse for fuck’s sake
