I was standing outside of Maximus in St. Petersburg Florida
Talking with a friend.

Up comes a man, I've only met once before
Months ago.

The man comes up and interrupts
He says to me,
"How is conceptual art working for you?"
I reply,
"I think everything works for me."
He says to me,
"I think you should work on finding some talent."
He walks away.

My friend and I look at eachother, puzzled.
We knew that man had not seen my current show titled 'Wishes.'
So we continue in our puzzlement.

I go on living.
Strong, hungry and thirsty.
