Con Artist

In comfortable kicks,
She paints the world
- a performance art,
in a series of steps
she has patented

up airport concourse,
on a plane, and off
to wherever she's led
into foreign, domestic,
locales and scrapes

by killer instinct
so inscrutable, slow
- it will draw her on steady,
inexorable. Lulling her to a sense
of comfort in things never seen
before.

Wherever she treads
in her canvas tennies
through many
a way,
and past plenty
a fool,
she paints the world:

adding colour to it, that only

she knew.
