Exhibition
By abstracts, still lifes
landscape scenes
onlookers pace
canvassing art
for newness, truths
amusements, beauties
questions or proofs
while I, the portrait incomplete
observe the show with sketchy eyes:
how each must enter, wend, disband.
Wall to hall, what frames it all?
At night I try to understand.
