"Anything can be art

"Anything can be art."
Well, sure it can.
You've a done a fine job of convincing me.
The way you broke down in your car was so beautifully pathetic,
I feel moved enough to paint your ruin in shaky brushstrokes.
Oh, to capture the movement of your fists as they slammed onto the steering wheel . . .
Then to your face, and the steering wheel again.
If only there were a way to make your painted mouth move, so the viewer could hear you in art form, whisper—
What yelling I had to endure—
"You're going to leave me."
And just like that you painted the very thing you dreaded right into existence.
