CDLXXXVIII - The Brick


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.

  3. No eye contact. Hmmm - obviously not a trust-worthy type.

  4. Unfortunately, there are a lot of those around - and not just exclusive to the male gender! ;)

  5. Rock solid, JC! Er, um, solid as a brick. (That's better.)

    I finally made it out of hibernation, and am dropping by to see how friends are doing. Hope you had a passable summer.
