The art should not contain the artist’s name
for only then we glimpse into his soul
past layers of skin wrinkling in
grimace or grin
past aches, deceptions, affiliations,
past nationality, past health,
past politic, past good deeds or bad
Past age, for age deceives
and in every crinkled shell
lies a child
naked to the world
that cries a first cry
peeps a first peep
giggles a first laugh
dips a hand into the muddy paint
and smears it on the page
nameless
to be hung in exhibitions
