Painter Who Writes Into

An old man who spits paint
Is a peculiar timepiece but could work

It depends on the street
Which depends (I suppose) on its nation

He has then painted himself off somehow
His words are animalcules

Clearly, they have escaped his control
While living within him

But we can learn by watching
Shadow stuff these his girders

The independence within him
What his spirit (spit) can master

That is the real tattoo in life
The real joy (sometimes)

It depends on the wings
You surrender to

That it is so simple
Unscientific, divine

Some people find trouble accepting
The tunnel of the way out closed off

Becomes everything to them
Fingers like ghosts encrusted around pens

The lingering types
