Inspiration: Retail

ARTISTS WERE NOT MADE FOR RETAIL

We sing while we stock

We dance in empty aisles

We doodle on recipt paper

Because we're artists

Not machines

We dream up stories

As we check out your groceries

And wonder why we bothered to get a degree

In art

When the world thinks their kid is picasso

With fucking finger paint and glue

ARTISTS WERE NOT MADE FOR RETAIL

We return your shit

We wear our masks

I CANNOT BREATHE

Yet you still come in

Complaining how the dressing rooms aren't open because you wana try on that bekini

Thats twelve sizes too small

For yo fat ass

Artists cannot deal with karens

Or susans

Or billies

Or janets

Because were emotional creatures

And we will either combist into tears

Or deck your ass through the protective plexi glass

ARTISTS WERE NOT MADE FOR RETAIL

ARTISTS WERE MADE TO MAKE ART

and yet here we all still are

smiling

through our masks

while you ignore the pain in our eyes

Sorry no photo today. No one wants a picture of a random aisle. I promise to get more original pictures up here, whenever I get to have a life again. But in the meantime i hope you enjoyed a little retail rant for your word vomit pleasure. Get drunk cuz its thirsty thursday!
