WHITE ON WHITE
White on white
a square in a square.
Is it art?
Is it innovative?
Is it different?
Is it original?
Do you like it?
Or is it nonsense?
You ponder
You scratch your head
You tell me:
‘It’s taking the piss.
It’s rubbish!
A child could paint it’.
Is that what you really think?
But surely
you could you have fun
with colours
with shapes
with tones
Perhaps you couldn’t paint it
or something like it ?
You’re indignant.
I can see that.
Of course you are!
‘There’s nothing to it’
you say
‘It’s easy
Anyone can do it’.
So you could paint
something like:-
white on white
a square in a square.
Then why don’t you?
