The Paintings

Portrayed
We were in a frame
Spinning smiles and years
To the man in the tailored suit
We sat sarcastic and cynnical and grave
Fading and buried by age...

Paintings,
Artistic renderings,
Purposefully portray elements.
Pleasure, surprise, sorrow, anticipation
Reciprocate.

Bury your gems,
Hide your wealth,
Across the commonwealth,
Map out your co-conspirators,
And paintings on the walls,
Speak to each one,
About what is going on.
