One of my pieces but not in its exhibition form. Exhibited in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1996.
"DIS 2 IN": the meeting place
(c) Ellen F. Walker 1996
DIStantly,
a face hovers.
Head down,
hooded eyes,
keeping to itself.
INdiscernibly,
I scan for signs:
Memorized features,
Micro mannerisms.
Second-hand security.
DIStrustfully,
it's approach is viewed,
it's passing dreaded.
It lifts it's shades,
Sees, then hesitates too.
INdecision
dances in eyes
that meet...
then slide apart.
What now? we wonder.
DISguise
our beings?
Hide our souls,
protecting and cosseting
perceived futures or fears?
or INterlock
our lives:
Risking time,
effort, emotion:
INvesting in possibilities.
DISinterest/INterest?
DISsociate/INfiltrate?
DISintegrate/INtegrate?
DIStrust/INtrust?
DISpirit/INspire?
To be or not?
Coffee or tea?
One lump or two?
