Review Of A Success Story.   

 To the ivory towers of expensive artists. 

 So you want to blaze a little:
break the numbers, be a name!
Think you're strong; you'll join the dream
of the great untouched, where life's a game.

 "Stand up," you say, "cos you should fight
for yourself and the art you would create."
You're rising wild, with no time for fools.
You take our sharp yearnings for indecent hate.

 But have you the strength to fly near the ground
in the turbulence of wounded love,
and feel lifetimes of loss with no words to say?
Have you the strength to be hawk, and dove?

 You rise, so full of professional self.
Wise maxims, with wit, you do aver;
but have you forgotten the craving you knew?
Have you the courage to face what you were?
