Antique Display

Hooray for Tom at Noonan Antiques!

For he allowed me to inhabit his display case 

for a few hours on a Saturday and a Sunday.

I reclined and drew as the people passed.

 People had things to say; 

I wrote them down:

"Quite the spectacle."

"Better than anything we saw... that's the best thing we've seen"

"Look at the man in the box!"

"Ha! Man in a window!"

"Isn't it hot in there?"

"I don't think so, I don't think it's incredibly hot..."

"What's he doing in there"

"We should take a picture, that's what he's there for."

"Oh, I see, he's got a card."

"There's a guy!"

"Oh, cool, how cool."

"How could he get in there? Oh, I know how 

he could get in there, there's a door."

"Wonder how much he is...(pause to catch up to friend and repeat) Wonder how much he is."

"Wow. Is that an installation? That is amazing."

"A man in a glass case. Hm. That's interesting."

Hudson Summer Is

Just the other day, I took a train from Hudson, NY 

to New York City. This man sat across from me. He

is old and drools when he sleeps.

A woman was sure she smelled cat.

"I am a licensed vet. tech and I know what cat 

smells like and that smells like cat."

Later, I accompanied Riley Wise to the Saugerties court house 

to pay a speeding ticket. It came with a lovely view 

from the audience bench. Then I got a sandwich 

because it was raining.  

  

Often I sit in my backyard. I see things

like this.

Sometimes it is time for a walk somewhere. I go here and see

these dogs at a bar with a doggy name. 

These aren't real dogs, but you can bring your dog in.  

   

After, I go to a bar without a doggy name and draw this 

and the man sitting next to me looks at it and says, 

"I was there!"
