Ode to White Paint

you reflect and gleam
so confident and unabashed
in all your pale purity.
i spread you with pallette knife
and blend you with brush.

thank you for your unwavering character,
your bold blond seasons,
your masking and show-through.

i am in search of you now,
on a sunday in new orleans,
where a day at the studio is wasted without you.
