My Museum Days


There are those days I could get lost in
a painting by Monet, you know the kind
with arched bridges over water where
the lily pads shine in the sun. Then there

are the days when I see myself mirrored
in the stoic face of Rembrandt staring back
at me from the blackness of eternity. I
sometimes see myself as the deformed

cubist creatures Picasso was inspired to
paint. My life is lived in the halls of
museums some days. There are times
I get turned around, twisted like a pretzel

in a manic maze of splashes and reticular
lines of disturbing confusion. I could get
lost for days lead frantically by the hand of
Pollack, fearful I might never in a thousand

years find my way home again. Then, there
are those days I think, screw it, I could use
swift kick or a stiff drink!
