CARUSOISM

I was never fast enough for algebra

Or so I was told

So here I am with you

Exposing my soul


If an area where we lack

In others we bestow

Mine is stone sculpture

With enough confidence to hold


Like a stream running through many things

At its swiftest is where its clean

But the slowly rotating swirls

Are just cloudy murky merles


So what you do with ease

Is bound to please

What is murky and slow

Probably will not satisfy you so


Some are shamelessly supported by nepotism

I wonder where their scruples go

I study joy and tragedy

One could call it Carusoism
