next week

All his life

He imagined himself

A great painter

And swore

He will start painting

Next week

Sixty years later

He imagines himself

Having his first retrospective

At a famous New York gallery

Aspiring young thespians

Serve cheap wine

And fancy finger food

Last night

He woke up

Stressing

That he still hadn’t

Started the piece

That first made him famous

But he imagines

He will start painting

Next week
