I pretty much try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face. - Johnny Depp

my easel
sits in
the corner of my bedroom
without a
canvas

my canvas
lies on the floor
with
nothing
painted upon it

my paints
are dried
my brushes
are stiff

and my broken
pencil
is poised
above clean paper
