"The Best Art In The World"
By JEREMY HIGHT, May 2022
Does the buzz of a moment dissipate like fog and dew
Or does it seep away quiet in drips and traces
So many empty glasses and tossed plates after the once opening
Or is that odd scent coming sometimes rare and small by happenstance
Of the room long demolished
And the era shifted away into past
Dappled light as near sinful in that one exhibition
Perhaps the museums are the mausoleums here
Markers and so much measure context of past
But that odd itch at night no insect on the skin
But the opening once of portals
Of aesthetics of experimentation
Dispersed from other decades and even centuries
Yet still alight and alive as were the mutterings and gasps
Mouths agape in wonder one evening so long ago.
