Artistry
Creation without permission slip.
Artistry in New Orleans ignores the mold. Faubourg Marigny color, Garden District refusal, river as moving brief — each says make anyway.
Symphony is declined. Surprise is the method: jazz phrase that detours, stroke that admits the hand, dream that costs rent.
Unplanned is not accident only. It is the city teaching who you are when the outline fails.
The canvas still wet after midnight.
