Art is for Black People

Because they don’t have to change

They don’t have to put on colored clothing

To fit in

Be hip

And go

Art is for Black People

Because they can be themselves

And still be real

And still be at the place to be

Art is for Black People

Because

All artists commit suicide daily

And

All artists are forced

To have openings that reveal chaotic hypnotism

Art is for Black People

In memory of Bob Thompson

And the hand modeler
