Trends In Art Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Trends in Art

come and go
like infatuation
on occasion
shrouds the mind.

You just can't get it
out of your head.

The critics, and it is
really them
that initiate it
are like
car fashion designers.

Every year
they create new models
spinning round and round
the showroom pedestals
hypnotizing us
like autumn leaves
twirling down
in Autumn.

Just the same
as when
the sinners renew
under the shroud
of the confessional
their adulteries
only to recommence
the moment they leave
the checkered safety
of the stained glass booth.
