Privileged Palettes ((Happy, Starving Artists) Poem by Renee Marie

Privileged Palettes ((Happy, Starving Artists)



Those I know
who don't 'clock-in'
that doodle or dream
at home within
whipped cream worlds
where words engage
slippery minds with stretched
canvas
or pristine page,
they float
across the rooms
and parking lots
and crowded streets
and stand in lines
that take too long
and they keep breathing
way down deep
as if
no clock
had ever
ticked
at all.
