Once reflective
now the glass just holds what you painted upon it
smashed up pieces
still the key
clues upon the floor in fragments
a jigsaw never to be assembled -
get new glass
paint a new scene
busy yourself with it
all the while
life goes on
choices continue outside the framed space
the key to the fields is to see them -
run up the hill & roll back down
be close enough to the grass to see it sway
check out the sky
beyond the horizon
let the scene change
don't just let life in - live it
step back further
it's a digital image
of a print
of a painting
of a broken scene
of a dull place to be
painted by Magritte
~ to question the boundaries of reality & representation ~
perspective is indeed unique
painting & breaking windows - a pastime
imagine looking in from the outside
maybe that will change your view
