Self Portrait

Once upon a time, I entered the realm of dreams.  In this realm, I looked out a door, window, or balcony (the specifics are hazy) onto a world of pyramids, glassy and colored.

Upon another time, whilst living in Sydney, I met a man who made paintings with spray paint and assorted bowls, cups, newspapers, etc.  He made pyramids.  I mentioned the dream.  He made me a painting.

I have utterly and completely transformed that bright, colorful painting into something else behind me here.  And I have transformed myself into something utterly and completely unearthly, as befits the environment.  Yet I smirk.  And, with a thumb, I point back toward the realm of dreams, as though inviting you, as though hitching a ride…
