edison eye, chapter two

Chapter 2

tonight is the show
a show of common things
dana was right
a minoan vase
a common thing?

but then neruda's poem
does elude to a flower vase
and from there to a minoan vase
is not that far a stretch

i am tired today
it was nearly 105 this week
and the heat made me weak

i'm leaving for alger in a few minutes
the weather is a beautiful 80 and now
that i look over the invitation to the invitational show
i should have painted buttons

Let us know everything about the night at the show. Your painting is wonderful with clarity and innocence.

I don't get it about "painting buttons"?

"Buttons"= commonplace objects, the theme of the show. This will become clearer in Part 3. (Ed.)
