The guard

The painting exhibition

is always lively with visitors

with a thirst for beauty from the essence of colors

and with a hunger for unknown feelings

the perfectly aligned paintings

seem an army that is disciplined

and always winning

in a corner

there is standing unnoticed

the exhibition guard

he can daily see other visitors

and listens to the same story

about the value of the paintings

as the author was never known

and that the collection was missing

one single painting self-portrait

that each evening

the guard goes straight home

at the entrance

he makes a friendly sign

towards a painting

picturing the guard himself

which is named self-portrait
