The Mag: Waiting for the Car

Artwork by Jack Vettriano


Another event-
the compulsory
making an appearance.

When does he dress
for an outing with me;
hang like a doll from my arm?

When do I get to show off
his fake smile?

Hang like a doll. The complementary nature of your thoughts is so beautifully reflected in this short and crisp piece. And by complementary, I mean a powerful difference.
