THE BLANK CONTEMPORARY ART
99 WORDS WITH STEVE PICCOLO

In this world of noses
to the ground
sky unseen

In this world
grinding to a halt
crawling on all fours
now makes more sense

In this world of
substitutes for love
how can I make decisions?

In this world of
artificial brains
nothing will change
the chains remain

Can this world of
bold assertive style
raise a smile?

In this world of
systems within systems
how do I know where I stand?

And in a world of
self-fulfilling lies
why should I tell the truth?

How will I know what you mean
if you won’t define your terms?
