Keep It To Yourself Manifesto

You artists are exhibitionists. You don’t really want to be one of those, do you? Why don’t you keep it to yourselves? Let those beautiful orchestrated songs hover in the space of your consciousnesses without bringing them into the soundscape of the world. Leave them where they were born (like baby turtles). If they make their way into the collective consciousness (ocean) via branching brain waves & energy cycles (swift legs running past the hovering gulls), so much the better, and so much less work you had to do. Pulling out that song for your own fingers is tough enough, but to harness that exact tone, that exact melodic line, that exact rhythmic variation from a percussion instrument that doesn’t even EXIST – I mean, really. Better leave it where it started than to displease the muse (brainwaves).

You artists (visionaries / pushovers / slaves) are only adding to the confusion of the world. It’s complex enough as is without your contradictory schemes philosophies anti-traditions gubernatorial anarchisms hedonisms euphorisms medicines wishing wells. Give us a break & keep it to yourselves! No sense further obfuscating obfuscatory obfuscations. We stockbrokers want clear water to drink and fresh air to breathe. Get to the woods and hear / see / think / receive those ideas for you, just you.

No one’s listening, anyway. You never had an audience except yourselves, so keep it to yourselves, Narcissists.
