With an inborn liking for art
I go up and down the gallery
pretending to admire the primary
adding each one to the wish cart
suppressing the desire to buy
as the spending mounts
and as the buying needs no urgency.
This liking drives me mad
with the mind refraining the buy
the heart promotes the purchase
torn between the dilemma
I stand helpless for a while
a conflict of reason over rhyme arises
Reason being well based
with a rationality and validity
whatever may be the authenticity
it could not overcome the passion
and I go on with my desire
not minding the monetary pressure.
placing myself once again in credit crunch
with a bulk buying in a bunch.
One reply on “Passion Against Reason.”
Always difficult to refrain from buying art and books since they speak to beauty in a world sometimes void of it.
