Represent
by Michael Romani

In the flowing stream of conscience 
You empty out your mind
Putting pen to prescience 
Leaving no thought behind
You end up in that somewhere
With no idea of where you're going
It will be whittled down as you compare
Where the genius might be showing

It's that special something
In how the tales are told
If it makes your heart sing
Then somehow you are gold
Defining on the run
Challenging the old - and under the gun
Lookign for a little lateral stability
Playing it out to your capability

With a bit of storyboard noodling
And lot of free range doodling
Trying it on for the perfect fit
There's a lot of throw-away in finding it
Suddenly hit with an anti-country club mentality
The signature is found in rebellious sentimentality
There visualized beyond the sensational super-hype
Design stumbles through to the perfect prototype

Looking for more than some new sensation
Moving beyond that ground soak penetration
A show stopping mute to another's exclamation point
Like an heir apparent just waiting to anoint
It's a beautiful process of continuous refining
A free flow process of mental mining
This is the way to the representative brand
That only an artist's heart can truly understand
