Three
16 x 20
acrylic collage
on paper
As I stood behind him in the checkout line, I noticed he was purchasing two bras. I thought maybe he was buying them for his girlfriend. Upon closer observation, I could tell he wasn't all together there. He smiled at me with a toothless grin.
Given my past experiences I've adapted a certain smile that keeps the nuts at bay. It's still pleasant, just not as encouraging.
For some reason they always single me out. Maybe they see me as a kindred soul. Hey she's a nut too! Yet, I always seem to walk away with a good story.
When he whizzed by me in the parking lot on his big red bicycle, I saw 2 bra straps through his t-shirt. Then it all made sense.
Perhaps, this gave him an extra sense of support. In a world that can be so cruel to those that are seemingly so different. It may make him feel more secure.
I know we all need to feel supported at times and who am I to question.
Maybe,
just another nut.
