Part Three:  Park Avenue Paintings and a Poem

 

 

And a poem.

 

O.K., O.K., so I took up public exhibitions, again

only to find my self trapped in the cold dream of others (again),

my dreams, set adrift looking out not in.

 

Always happens when you forget your self.

 

Switching, from one media to another,

oils to acrylics

should have known this,

just a new play base.

 

I sat, stood, walked around

painting four pictures together in the side yard

with bright colors in sunlight,

joined by the passing by.

 

Put 'em in a pile to be painted over

when a stroller just had to have 'em.

 

Baghdad Express, dispatched, sheer luck

I'd venture to say.

 

 

 

Baghdad Express, the Paintings:

 

1).             Initial Confusion

 

2).            Attack

 

3).            Calming Days

 

4).            Hope (the Door)
