This Is Mike Brown ...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
 
This 
is
Mike Brown
who was 
my stepson 
He 
is not to be 
confused
with
Coach of
the New York Knicks
___
 
The latter
is being paraded
in 
New York City 
tomorrow 
because
the Knicks
are 
World Champions
 
The other Mike Brown
may be anywhere
on this earth
—or elsewhere—
 
I was only 
his stepfather
for three years
because his mother
was too smart
for it to last 
any longer
________
______
___ 
BUT
a quick story 
about
the young man
—visiting from Florida—
when this picture 
was taken 
 
We took him to
La Jolla Art Museum:
 
He ran across the lobby
shouting
"There's Robert!"
 
He was referring 
not 
to a human being
but to a piece of art
created by
 
At that time, 
Mike Brown's
"job"
was being 
a studio assistant
to Rauschenberg
 
Before the divorce
was finalized,
the last I heard
about her son,
Rauschenberg
was 
interested in
Michael's 
creative 
hammering
of 
copper plating
around existing 
objects
