the authentic avant-garde

prisons can be liberating,
at least, fascinating

the incarceration of liberty, now in its 30,096 year,
has been clairvoyant,
liberty’s famous personal story did not
start in France or the United States of Amorica,
it was a mistress long before

freedom, sovereignty, independence, autonomy,
has had it’s deep reservoirs of conflicting feelings,
feelings about sex and the sexes,
on which her handiwork has steadily
drawn rage and ridicule,
fear and fantasy, sensuality and repulsiveness,
resolve and anguish,
authority and tenderness, just to name a few,

incongruous circumstances that add to the vortex
and churning of her productivity

the lady is surreal,
liberty, freedom, evokes thoughts
of sexuality and darkly
emotional states of mind,
now being championed as the
authentic avant-garde
