Still

at the leasure center. 

A caterpillar emerges from its chrysalis.

Then a beautiful butterfly.

"Hey, what are you doing with that sign?"

"Don't know. Elevation has been cancelled."

"Oh not now, I've been up since 4:00 a.m."

"What are you doing back there?"

"Well, I built a dark room."

"You know, this whole cancel elevation business gave me an idea for a new show."

"Hey, that's great."

"I think it could be, but, no gallery wants to rep me now. So I'm showing at the Welcome Habitat, you know, in that side room lifeforms go to piss when the bathroom line gets too long."

"Hmm"

"I know it's-- it's not the same, but--"

"Even when the bathroom line

isn't long, people still go in there to piss and vomit."

"- Well, I have to show my work--"

"Even in a bar that stinks

of piss and vomit?"

"Because that's what artists do."
