“How Sad”
“How Sweet”
“Sad Face”
“Happy Face”
“I’m sorry to hear that…….”
“Aaaaah!”

All easy to say.
How much thought is there?
****
Fact is…..
If you don’t lift the drain cover –
You don’t see what’s in the sewer.
****
BUT –
It’s now leaking out into ‘Real Life’ TM.

How sad.

I loved the poem—and the picture…
Thank you Fred!!!
I wondered how many people would notice, and delight in, the running man. I think he makes the picture.
When I first saw the ’I ‘heart’ Real Life’ neon sign , I was puttering away – thinking it was by a pretentious arse – then, I saw that Ross Sinclair http://www.contemporaryartsociety.org/artist-members/ross-sinclair/ did this, as part of an on-going series of works, about …..how ‘real life’ is messed about with/interpreted. So now, I like it.
I don’t know if he knows that it’s been placed next to the fire exit – the man running away from ‘real life’ – I hope he does.
Isn’t life a hoot sometimes?
