Philosophy of divergent thinking overturned dreaming establishment of intellectual and intrinsically unorthodox cognitive paradigms as hundreds of artists, writers, sculptors and composers invaded the panopticon with unanimous extraction and deconstruction via collective unconsciousness.

As Sandro Botticelli closed the half shell on Venus, Salvador Dali sliced “The Persistence of Memory” into perfect squares to be covered with relish and neatly stacked between slices of bread, and after Johann Bach’s “Air on the G String” was reduced to ashes in a tightly packed bong bowl it was clear; only the architects have the propensity and privilege of deciding what survives the end of enlightenment.

Cement mix blues
In colorless hues
Pour glasses of rum
Made deaf, blind and dumb

Forceful mind-set at dawn
Devouring macaroons of prawn

Sexed up with burning oil
Turns desires on slow boil

Dressed naked beneath skins
Singing tuneless begins

Allegory
Illusory
Neoclassic decorum
Genius tinged with madness
Creativity singed with sadness

Vers de Société expostulate
As prescient they oraculate
While noble savages masturbate

Deformation appreciates cosmic cataclysm
During a disarray of dispassionate colloquialism

Persistence of Memory devolved into art malicious
Dali cleaves paintings into sandwiches delicious
Consuming inspiration relished with lisps
Savor Gauguin, El Greco, and Monet with crisps

Michelangelo castrates Dave
van Gogh rides the earless wave
Da V defaces Mo Lis
Archetypal semiotics rest in peace

Objective
Subjective
poem per se
l’art pour l’art aesthetics bray
In useless, toothless disingenuous repartee

Annotated Bibliographies
Prose begins to freeze

Biochemistry of brilliance genetically unsound
And fluency in creativeness lost and found

Critical thinking predestined to die
Deus ex Machina tastes better on rye
