His Biorhythms Alert

It is the face of a bearer
who has learned his own lessons,

been overtaken, after years of inwardness,
by the ironies that time emits,

become an honest broker
between too little and too much.

Thus, for the first time
the painter Alberson,

confronted, evolved enough,
finally tolerable in his mind’s eye,

seizing the inclination,
elects to sit to himself.
