It Can Be Whatever You Want It to Be

I had an art teacher once
who knew a thing or two about art
and scary as it seems
looking back on it now
she knew a thing or two about me
but she wasn’t into betrayal
so when I asked what she thought
after I had made a drawing
about nothing
nothing at all
looked at it for only a moment
and nodded with great understanding
as if she knew exactly what it was
I had made
and said
yes
