Analysis of Soup
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
Stop adding to the mix.
the soup is already overdone.
Give the ingredients some time to find their place.
Some simmering and then settle.
Art is never a competing race.
No great work a composite.
Life cumulates finds its place.
Becomes itself, if only for a moment.
