Odd Job Painter
by Andrew Lander
The other week
I sold a painting
for two hundred pounds

to a plumber
no less

and he didn’t think
I’d ripped him off!
Wanted to give me more.

With the proceeds
I bought more paint
and a dozen large
canvasses.

Since then
nothing.

They remain
shrink wrapped
behind the sofa.

A waste
of money.
But then
I didn’t need
the money.

I don’t need
painting.

For me
Self expression
is not unlike plumbing

I don’t do shit
Unless there's Something
that needs
Fixing.
