Bad Planning

2004-9 Abstract Painting 9

“Bad Planning”, Oil on Canvas, 28″ X 36″, 2004

NO ONE KNOWS MY PLAN

In my prison cell I think these words.
I was careless,
I can see that now.
I must be silent,
Must contain my secret smile.
I want to tell you,
you my mirror,
you my iron bars.

When I made a shadow on my window shade,
They called the police and testified.
But they’re like the people chained up in the cave,
In the allegory of the people in the cave by the Greek guy.

No one understands,
No one knows my plan.
Why the dancing, shouting?
Why the shrieks of pain?
The lovely music -
Why the smell of burning autumn leaves?

In my prison cell I bide my time.
Always thinking,
Always busy cooking up an angle.
Working on the tiny blueprint of the angle,
Sketching out the burning autumn leaves.

No one understands.
No one knows my plan.
I must be silent, must contain my secret smile,
I want to tell you,
you my mirror,
you my iron bars.

No one understands.
No one knows my plan.

Luminiferous Ether“, Oil on Canvas, 36″ X 48″, 2004

“Following the negative outcome of aether-drift experiments like the Michelson-Morley experiment, the concept of aether as a mechanical medium having a state of motion lost adherents.”
