Impulse, or: Impotence

A limerick

A renowned oil painter, much admired,
Shed tears of frustration, uninspired.
Then, sultry canvas drew him in;
His purist impulses caved to sin...
Shaking, Ling flushed at the art that he'd sired.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
