Stereotyping
Knew exactly who
this older tourist was.
Felt sort of enlightened
at the time,
like too many I saw
in the crowd.
Wondering why
he couldn’t see
how he was being seen,
looking like so many
other old tourists
in the crowd.
Of course that was years ago
in younger days
before I understood
the guy I look at now
in the mirror.
He stepped in front just as I was
snapping this reference photo of a few behind that I was with on the steps of
St. Peters in London, now a number of years ago.
6”x 11” ink and watercolor
Very nice art work too !!!
