"The Best Art In The World"
By JEREMY HIGHT, August 2022
If there truly is an “art world”
Is it measured by empty cups and tickets to cities?
By the exact height and weight of the dead?
By elbows and chatter
Or is it the stench of antiquity?
The must of present dead into past?
Does it have so much breath and synchronous moments?
Or does it move skinless like bones do, motions, actions in space
Time alone solitary not action painting at some loft party clouded with cocaine
When biennials die into past is the corpse pale and soft like paper or a fog slightly vinegar
Then nothing at all but those artifacts.
