I spend
a lot of time
watching dry paint –
this is not something
for those with faint heart;
apart from the tediousness,
it is less a hobby,
and more, a calling;
though, falling asleep is pretty galling
when you have just got into
a good dry paint perusal,
(often termed as a ‘dry-paint-refusal’)
and your falling whilst watching the finished final coat,
is something upon which hardened paint-watchers
will inevitably gloat.
