Eddie Hopper Proposes
My Dad has money.
He wants me to have a trade.
I paint as I want
Waiting for something.
I take in students because
I need the fucking
money more than freedom
right now but I promise you
I will get by and
then someday I will
hit it big.

thank you all for your attention. I am pleased to offer up this post, and I thank the muses for giving me the hook I needed to pull the information together. I didn't know what to write as a poem until I saw the message Hopper wrote to offer himself as a teacher sometime between 1910 and 1920.
ReplyDeletezongrik, I do know the blessing that can often come from a teaching gig. I also know how difficult that gig can be when it steals your creative time.
I'm smiling...and I think Hopper is too...
