And also this...
For over a year now I've been wanting to do something artistic for artistic's sake. Minimalistic even. Like an artist who puts on a display of an empty white room containing only a paperclip or some other such pretentious shit I decided that I wanted to write the world's shortest yet technically complete poem. I wanted something that while short, still packed an interesting mix of ideas and could be interpreted in different ways by different people. It's taken a year but I think I've finally finished my minimalistic masterpiece. It will look like it was simple, but before you dismiss it as Charonic pointlessness just think about it. Let your mind dwell on the possibilities. Ask yourself, what does this mean to me?
Ok I've bigged it up enough.
The World's Shortest (Yet Technically Complete) Poem?
I am
A lone brick

The trouble with bigging something up is that sometimes you come to earth with a thud :P
ReplyDeleteIt does conjure up some things...just another brick in the wall...thick as a brick...not bad, maybe the hype wasn't so bad at all ;)
Just another brick in the wall was definitely one aspect of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the last defiant brick standing after demolition?
What about the last stubborn brick of segregation such as when the Berlin Wall fell?
Resilience you see.
What about simply the concept of worthlessness. After all, what can you build with just one brick?
There's more too but I'll leave some for other people to suggest. ;)
Whoops posted this on the wrong thread. lol
ReplyDeletemade my comment at Bitesize 3.3.
Funny i had the same images in my mind. Another brick in the wall.... exposed of the others...
Nice.

P.S: You cannot build much with one brick - But you can throw it against something ;P
