Father, what abandonment?--a poem?

I dont think it should get reported. It is very powerful. I like it, despite the pessimistic nature, but I also know things can be learned about people and art when it pertains to negative feelings more than when its all happy and joyous celebration. I like your use of adjectives that don't normally fit with nouns, like leprous gaze, sour looks, etc. It didn't seem entirely authentic, but I forget who it was, said "Art is either plagiarism or revolution." Meaning that art isn't less artistic because it isn't brand new.
