Art Jobs

For the chronically restless

Think of someone you know who has quilts

and call them right away

Do they have time to spare?

-Great — go over there

-Can’t explain now

-There’s work to do

And you need their help with something

Desperately

Once there, find every single quilt

Just lay them all down

and start taking pictures;

-with your smart phone

-or your flip phone

-even a go pro

no matter — just take the damn pictures-

thousands if need be

Grab a pen and pad and ask your friend

To jot it all down

The details of each quilt;

-everything

-people, places

-and all the things

Don’t fret if they give a bit of grief

You need them;

Soon you will see

Hug your quilt friend bye and wish them well

You are almost there

Now to complete this task

-Process the pictures

-Read every story

-make a collage (from anything)

Now set it aside

First, ponder this question;

Who are you — genuinely?

This question is an artful gift

from you to that future self–

whom now you simply cannot see.

Please start conversing.
