In the summer,

I stood there.


Inside heaven

glaring into the one of many works of Georges Seurat.

Somehow I managed

to be where I am

volunteering in the Metropolitan Museum.

And in the city that never sleeps,

I can see why.


"Evan,

come here."

Circus Sideshow was Seurat's view

on entertainment in Paris 1887.


"Dude seriously,

I need you to do some work."

Second week here

and I'm already head over heels

for the aesthetics from the past.


"EVAN"

I couldn't focus 

with Paloma screaming.

It was as if something 

had possessed her.


As I gave in

and walked backwards,

I accidentally fell over.

Not alone, 

however.


Jesus, I'm extremely sorry.

But after looking into her pale green eyes,

was I really sorry?
