“Ogden After Dark”
Shoes on dancing feet,
The Ogden
Museum’s Lionel Hampton
Beat.
Smiling, clapping, eyes laughing;
Art meets ordinary artist;
The ones who don’t draw or paint,
Just tap to and fro, canvas free.
Their art is their tent:
Both eye and mind variety…
Unaware that their life’s work
Is daily glossed/washed,
Encrusted with, “Good mornings!”
They speak:
Every flower planted,
Ever y eager hand held,
Every note written,
Every kind word spoken;
“Walking Works of Art.”
Far removed from the canvas
Standing upright and sacred…
Applause.……
