Not to be Reproduced, 1937 by the Belgian surrealist René Magritte.
The Mag has the above painting as a prompt.
I took a light-hearted route:
The Brick
I met a man the other day,
As strange as strange could be.
It didn’t matter where I stood,
He had his back to me.
Clearly, he was avoiding me.
So good was this evasive trick
That he was in every way
As engaging as a brick.

Perhaps a knock on the head will make him turn around...
ReplyDeleteCleverrrrr. :-)
ReplyDeleteStrange but he must have been very clever to do this trick ~
ReplyDeleteGood one :-)
;)
ReplyDeleteNo eye contact. Hmmm - obviously not a trust-worthy type.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, there are a lot of those around - and not just exclusive to the male gender! ;)
ReplyDeleteRock solid, JC! Er, um, solid as a brick. (That's better.)
ReplyDeleteI finally made it out of hibernation, and am dropping by to see how friends are doing. Hope you had a passable summer.
