Performance Poem

Canvas
While steadily pondering the subject,
Reach for the cupboard handle and pull,
Careful as a soldier tiptoeing through a minefield
While gathering tubes of syrupy tones,
Followed by snagging exactly three paper towels, a round for mixing, a thin bristled for outlining and a thick bristled for thickening.
While placing supplies on surface,
Continue to think on specific details composition will contain.
Details like thick; clean lines in the right places,
solid opaque colors, and the overall balance.
While dipping outlining brush into this thick; opaque goop,
This color-clouded water,
Feeling enlightenment as ideas continue to stream while composition builds up and is finished with satisfaction being the only outcome.
