Does Art Imitate Life?


Sure, if you as good as Shakespeare, Debussy,
the list is long, all the ones that mattered…
but nothing on ABC  or any of the other lettered
stations…no…their art ain't the same as life;
that's not why people watch it. People watch
those droids to escape from life. 
No, T.V./movies mimic life that people want to see…
it's all in the demography, in the market sangfroide
strategy…in the gleaming eyes of "mad men" frozen
in robotic hustlery. Art can only imitate life if the
artist is human; sweating, farting, anxious, euphoric,
angry, heartbroken…..especially heartbroken.
That art is an extension, a reaching out of life.
The other is garbage created by jackals for mice.
