Not An Abstract Painting But ... X ... Marks The Spot Elsewhere

________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was originally an aerial view
of the road leading to
Friendship Beach
on Long Island.

If it were the actual beach,
the entire caption
(excepting the first line)
would be in this water:

On the companion image
for the "abstraction,"
X
marks the spot
where I lived
for twenty-five years
⬇︎

I could easily spend
twenty-five years
with the memories
—real and abstracted—
of the three images
on this page.

I would like to thank NICK LOMANGINO
for providing me with
the two aerial images.
