Tick, Tick, Tick

I have been busy as of late finishing up my undergraduate degree. I have only a few more crits left, then graduation. At the beginning of this month the Senior Fine Arts show opened, which was tons of work but very exciting.

Anyway, most of my work lately has been focused on just finishing projects for classes. I have a lot of ideas for personal projects that I will hopefully get to start as soon as graduation is over.

For now, here's one of the paintings I included in the Senior show and a brief poem.

Until next time, farewell.

- Waiting for the Train -

Waiting for the train.
I sit here as the red lights
Flicker back and forth with a
Tick, Tick, Tick.
The great engine rumbles by
And I can feel my little car shudder.
I am waiting for the train.
Tick, Tick, Tick.
I glance down the length of the track
But cannot see the end.
I am waiting for the train.
Tick, Tick, Tick.
One day I tried a different route,
But another train found me.
I am still waiting for the train.
Tick, Tick, Tick.
