She takes out any curse words, any hate words she makes softer, takes out sexual insinuations, "fixes" what sounds grotesque and "replaces" it with sophistication, etc. I WANT my art to be grotesque. I WANT it to be revengeful, dirty, angry, bold, and yes.... creepy. That makes it my art. So she has my/her poem and I keep MY poem, and she just goes on through life thinking she fixed me.
She never will.
Anyway, it sucks that art coming from tiny and anonymous me should go contaminated, but to have historical art from huge artists be altered is just atrocious. It almost makes me gag. Or maybe that's just the excess of alcohol in my system.
Hey, if an Irish bog savage like me can engage in art, you go for it. Mainly Photography me, but I draw too, and tried to paint a few times.
