Dancing with Time

acrylic on paper 14”x17”
Dancing in lighted pools of Jello-textured neon. “That’s the way to do it,” an old stranger called to the young man who, being suddenly aware of what he was doing, stopped, looked over his shoulder and glanced down at the ragged multi-colored sheet that was pulled tightly around his shoulders. He leaned back and peered up at the sun. Smoke rose from the side of a brick building and the odor or ginger floated through the air. The source of both puzzled him, as he remembered distinctly thinking he was the only person in the world just a few moments before. The old man smiled a toothless smear of flabby lips and bowed down to the dancing youth, who smiled back, jiggled aimlessly for a few seconds on thin, scratched legs and then sat down on a patch of grass in from of a building that had been painted by clowns. The young man pulled back the corner of his gown of rainbow hues and let out his heart, which had been beating all along, but in being freed, started to do a dance all of its own, though it had no legs. It also sang, which surprised the young man as he had always thought he was mute.

Dancing with Time belongs to the following groups:

Abstract Art, AW Welcome Center and California Sound

This is art. It is not just the text. but the subtext and the subtext and the subtext still, and what you have here is an artistic surrendering into the the imagination and mind of the eyes that must come to it and dance their own lit opinion of colors, shape, movement and form … just to see at all. Bravo! I hope to pen a poem inspired by this work someday.
