just touch it

just touch it

this sweet lady - she's a guard - a protector of art.
she has a nice smile and a nice look in her eyes.
i hope they pay her good.
she wants to touch the textured art -
like I do -
and it's not fair they won't let you.

so, she goes on to tell me:
" i get mad
when little kids
touch the work
because
oh, they'd
get away with it.
but me,
they would watch me
through the camera and
zoom in on me.

but if the lights
ever
go out,
i'm gonna go
over there
and rub it down!"
