I am an artist who paints with
Letters. Palettes of multicolored prisms, mixed to form
Words. Brush strokes on blank canvases, create
Sentences. Structured sweeps narrow and broad, forge
Paragraphs. Pigmented layers crafted carefully, fill
Pages. Individual frames combined skillfully together, shape
Chapters. Paintings within paintings, merged into one, build
Novels. Completed canvases glossed with varnish, make
Stories. Ambiguous artistic expression worn by doubt, wreck
Novels. Distorted portraits ruined with misgivings, maim
Chapters. Confusing patterns separated by skepticism, gut
Pages. Uncoordinated structures torn by indecision, smash
Paragraphs. Disconnected strips exposed with questions, quell
Sentences. Bloated lines of paint inexpertly drawn, clear
Words. Distasteful smears blurred on torn paper, waste
Letters. Gray blobs staring from my palette of keys, kill
Confidence. I am no artist.
