Bet on Like Horses
When does design become art?
When does art fade to design?
When is poetry really prose?
When is a short story really poetry?
Where does philosophy intersect with physics?
When does physics give way to philosophy?
When can pop music be considered classic?
Was classical music once pop music?
When will the speculators and sideline watchers
Stop sitting by the sideline commentating?
From their privileged balcony deck
Scene royalty loyalty passed down through last name
Allows them to be educated, connected
Left liberal elite
Right conservative elite
When does the liberal system give way to
Being on the authorities’ side?
Where do right wing libertarian concepts allow for
Copious military spending?
Problems are conceived by analysts
Far removed from the playing field
Puppeteer with a fashionable smile
They have us all on in our respective fields
Artists to engineers to doctors
All engaged in our little “scenesâ€
Every profession has a divide
There are at least two warring factions
Engineered, and bet upon
Played upon
Bet on like horses
