Mimicking in Search of Enlightenment MAG
July 2, 2010
Miniatures in plaid swerve silently through the museum
Repeatedly halting in a tight pack to stare and then move on.
The teacher stops them at picture of fruit.
She ask, “How does is make you feel?”
I think in my head, Hungry? and smile
to myself
But they stare in silence.
Are they being enlightened or just mimicking?
But we swerve in silence, halt, stare,
look at that same fruit in that same picture.
We are all hungry for enlightenment,
But honestly, we might just be mimicking.

I like this. I definately feel sometimes like people just pretend to be moved by art, because they think they're supposed to.
