Sonnet № 46422
Fix it
With objectification reserved for my fetish,
Tiring of the need was the only salvo.
When I first forayed into pain as a cure--
An accelerant with an seductive allure--
I needed it like a drug, although
The thought of it made you squeamish.
You gave me exactly what I wanted,
Something you wouldnât choose on your own--
Pushing boundaries of pain-shaped skin,
You submitted and were made again.
Hard to soft and flesh to bone
You bore my harsh caresses undaunted.
But partnering me became a chore
That your dear flesh chose not to endure.

Henri Matisse once overheard a man at a Salon critiquing one of his paper cuttings. The man was exclaiming at length at the outrageous price of the, in his opinion, childish simplicity of the artwork. He compared it at length to some of the complex and highly realistic oil paintings that must have taken days to complete. Exasperated, the man asked Matisse how long it had taken him to execute the "art." Matisse smiled and answered, "Sixty years."
