True Wishes

I was standing outside of Maximus in St. Petersburg Florida

Talking with a friend.

Up comes a man, I’ve only met once before

Months ago.

The man comes up and interrupts

He says to me,

“How is conceptual art working for you?”

I reply,

“I think everything works for me.”

He says to me,

“I think you should work on finding some talent.”

He walks away.

My friend and I look at each other, puzzled.

We knew that man had not seen my current show titled ‘Wishes.’

So, we continue in our puzzlement.

I go on living.

Strong, hungry and thirsty.
