Life throws its stuff
at you.
Paint through it.
Canvas yell back.
They want your attention
and you sometimes neglect to listen
to the subtleties of
what they are saying.
Through the soft times
and the hard times.
The canvas stares and you wait for it
to speak out
directly.
Painting through it.
And into the next room
or song
or catch phrase.
Paint through it.
