Exhibition Pictures

Picture this, old friends and acquaintances 
meeting and stopping to review the social 
contract among civil and engaged 
communities; exhaust the rude speaking 
points of weather, local politics, then news 
of the world, exploring one another's state 
of consciously curious elaboration on the 
simplicity of solutions to intractable problems
eluding world leaders' capabilities to solve. 
Having done which, more pleasant, ego-rich 
topics arise from those who once bored one 
another by endlessly extolling the preternatural 
genius of their numerous talented offspring, 
now lovingly graduated to renewing the
past through the present, triumphing
in the budding brilliance of grandchildren.
