Painting Time
Do you want to buy some of my time?
I am pretty sure that is what I am Painting
I am not selling skilled labor
Pretty sure a child could do as much or better
But a child hasn’t lived my life
Has my Life been intriguing enough that you would like to buy a portion?
I’m not so sure you can put time in a bottle
But I am fairly confident I can paint it
I’m fairly confident the painting can capture some of my time
I tend to paint the entire canvas so you can own more of it
When I paint less, I feel I might be selling you short
I paint with small brushes and strokes to take more time
Sometimes I even think the painting will look worse if I add more paint
But I am more in the business of selling time
If I fill that in, there is another hour of my time
As I sit her staring at my painting
It almost looks like a refracted hour glass
I think they are meaningful enough
