Artistic Motivation - Disaffected

The Dissertation Series comes nearer home, into its third round, with the poets response to Looking at Self an exhibition featuring Lucy Jones at the Usher Gallery - Lincoln, January 2007

Disaffected

Troubled, bent double, creased up without laughter
Bubble, creosote and stubble, the strong sense of ones lost temper
If I sit a thousand hours will it mean anymore
If I touched your crumpled skin or smelt old piss

Why would I

Better to turn away, steer clear
Make for certain not to be affected
Fall back into my shallow ways
Turn down the lights
Turn away from the musing
