There is an oddness about
painting a canvas
especially a large one
no one asked you to paint
Or, certainly never
exactly expected you
to make in just that way
It is odd in the same way
an adventure begins
One in which you don’t know
In advance where it
might lead you
Yet here you are
Unexpected
and the paint
still needs to dry.
