Perfect Confusion

"The surest way of getting hooked on modernism is to try to make it sound significant and beautiful." —Charles Rosen

my first Bartok caused perfect confusion
until I played him wrote a story about him
presumptuous twit that I was at least tried

the old way having proved its uselessness
in correcting the world imitation is futile
make it new the necessary admonition

art is either hopelessly irrelevant and
ultimately trivial or our only hope I prefer
the latter nothing else matters as much
