Conceptual Art art that says something
coded art where you have to understand the code
that means
you have to understand the social grouping
that evolved the code
and knows it
without even being aware of it.

Champagne bottles
we understand that
and questionnaires?
is this Sociology 305?

Hands at prayer
please, no more war
a religious questionnarie?
surely not
don't ask
do, pray
stand in the way.

Families and populations
Still asking questions
Instead of looking around to see
OK, I'm wrong
Not "instead of," but in addition to
the AND of feminine style and power

Weed Eater?
poverty of the fields
like Van Gogh's potato eaters

Clues to what the pictures mean
side by side with the photos
Answers not given
Just questions posed
deeper AND deeper AND deeper.

That is
I think
What Beuys meant to show
in his conversations with the coyote
somehow.

That is
why poems
AND music
AND photos
AND art exist
to help us see what humans are
what life is
.
