sitting and twitching
she waits for the test
pale and shaking
she can't get and rest
spaced out and crazy
she can't get enough of
being called lazy
abstraction is tough
there is an art student I know
nothing but a soulless shell of bones
always making once-befores and knockoffs on her own
every gallery in town just burns her prints and sends her home
shaking and buried
she lies in her sheets
got some inspiration
and it gives her the creeps
holds up her brush
holds it right to her head
gonna leave her mark
on her original bed spread
baby steps in baby shoes
is all I want for you to do
take a sec to calm your nerves
and I'll give you the answer you deserve
I just want to see you try
I wish you wouldn't pass me by
I just want to see you try
