I want to write about
the art
opening

but this morning is overcast
with spelling test drills
the seven continents of the world
and reading mastery assignments

I guess it gets to continue
to settle in my cells
thick oil on hung canvases
salad bowls of chocolate chunks
Jeb
the Bohemian
and a roomful of surfers in dress-up clothes
smiling at the process

the opening
of art
