I Build, I Hold, I Am For An Art That

I build a biography of myself on a 3.5 notecard in nine lines.
I build a notebook of writing compiled from my writing class.
I build an army of zombie eggs and set them loose to the world to devour and infect other eggs.

I hold a pencil in my hand.
I hold an awkward dusty object in my hand that I thought originally was a broken piece of ceramic but was actually something quite different.
I hold the right to stand up for the things I disagree with my hot-headed, stubborn friend on.
I hold the key to my apartment.
I hold the responsibilities of a being the oldest sibling in my family.

I am for an art that has a point and meaning.
I am for an art that has no point and meaning, no concepts, no politics.
I am for an art that took effort to make and isn't some half-assed shit where nothing absolutely happens.
I am for an art that is as fun to play with as this stainless steel lock.
