art vs. life

I wonder
what meaning people would see
if someone hung my life
on a wall
with a title
and the proper frame
Maybe a frame is all you need.
The universal clue,
"You should find meaning in this;
this is important"

Bookshelves and glasses
frame my life
course schedules
paper outlines.
Not things you
can easily make art out of

But then again,
I've always been taught
that art is a matter of seeing meaning,
not just objects
The art of perspective
instead of conveying
absolute-unmistakably-clear-ideas

Perhaps  what I choose to see
in my life
is more important
than what is actually there.
