Abstract Expressionism had it roots in Post War America <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was supposed to represent American values <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And obviously promoted White Straight <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Far away from the Communist disease <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a strong male genre <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which was deeply homophobic <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was a typical artist of this period <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Living in a huge studio <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working barefoot <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wearing paint splashed jeans <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My work consisted of large expanses of colour <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which acted as a base for a drip technique <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These works were enormously popular <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I became rather wealthy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I refused to stray from my roots <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I stayed married to my childhood sweetheart <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And was a regular churchgoer <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the flip side however I often got into fights <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And drove fast cars when inebriated <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I taunted faggots without mercy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I did not see them as real men <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This brought me into contact with the law <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But my money always pulled me away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thrived in the toxic masculinity of the era <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And reported suspected Reds to the authorities <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I considered myself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Good American Boy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And an experienced <\/p>\n\n\n\n
