Untitled No.2
 
 

 

The artist paints upon his canvas two old and graying citizens.  Both are lost and their bodies stutter:  Eastward, westward, stop movement, start, stop movement, start.  One of them, a woman, she wants the highway.  The other, a man, he is searching for the marketplace.  The woman is now a bird—a common brown bird with no distinctive markings—and she flies off the canvas.  The old man, since he has two left feet, walks on into counter-clockwise circles.
