The Brick Wall - My First Poem v2

Imagine a big brick wall
Are there a few bricks missing
One will look at a slot and say
That's not a brick wall
One will look at a brick and say
That is a brick wall
One will turn up a light and say
They really aren't missing

Dennis C. Lee - September 23, 1998

1. The flame wars on Vortex-l these past few weeks was the inspiration to
write it.

2. It could also be interpreted as team work.

3. To be right do you also have to look right? etc.

I think that this is an example of objective art and it depends on ones
level of development as to how many levels of interpretation you will find.

Of course the day after I write the piece, I get the decision by the Board
of Bar Overseers to keep a file closed. This is in spite of much research
with references. The whole battle involves getting the paper work that was
signed by the landlord 25 years ago. After paying off the 1% government
loan, the landlord now wants to eventually disperse our art community by
raising rent levels. All we want is to see original agreements.

Might as well enjoy the process of conflict. It seems that this is what life
is about at this time.
