“An artist emperor, this is not appropriate.
We have had one or two, of course.
There are black sheep everywhere.
But the others have had the good taste
to remain civil servants.”

Authority fears artists
for they respect no way
the hierarchy of society.
They are capable of challenging everything
for the needs of creation.
Nothing is fixed, nothing is said,
everything is yet to be made
as if the world could not be
but only become
thanks to the intervention
of this artistic touch
which frightens so the civil servants.
