...now



when's it going to be time?
i'm prepared. all i do is prepare
and anticipate
the second i switch on
and am reborn an artist, a master,
skill and talent innate and perfected
because its hard to learn
and i don't want to be bad at things

but motivation is born of romanticisation in my mind
so i remember "amateur" is she who practices loving imperfection.
that is pretty in my mind
so here i am, here is my bad art, the switch is on
and it's amateur hour babes!
