the unstarving artist

he tells me he doesn't
want to work
just for money,
like the common man,
the untalented
souls,
bent over a broom
each day to make
their crust.
with room and board
paid,
he's suddenly Vincent
van Gogh.
now.
Edna St Vincent. Millay,
it's about his art, his
passion.
his pursuit of fame
and fortune, but
without the cost
of mundane
tasks getting in the way.
