TO PERFECTIONISTS
Art is perfect,
They say.
Life's a mess,
They say.

Art can be perfect
But only horrible art is so;
Life can be perfect
But only horrible lives are so.

People drink in cups with four handles.
It's a perfect cup;
You can pick it up from anywhere,
But it makes the drinking difficult

No one praises the Mona Lisa;
They praise the painter.
No one praises your perfect life;
They say it's because of god.

For people to speak about art more,
You should ruin it.
For people to speak about your life more,
You should ruin it.

You can improve it and not be perfect
But to truly make your legacy last,
You should ruin it.
