XO XMAS ETC

Look who's home

for the holidays

PROJECT XO

marches on

XMAS EVE

XO

Nippy weather

calls for nipping

Christmastime

is here again

It wants to go outside

Plenty of good spirits

around this time of the year

Found a stick-on

ribbon

en route

Pretty as a picture

Time to move on

Washington Street Art

The Flaneur studied

this hand painted edifice

in an earlier post

But now it is complete

Never saw

such a mural

Comic book city

Chiaroscuro

black and white

intricacy

With grotesque figures

out of a

cubicle's nightmare

Sophisticated

street design

Memorably so

back to

XO

Exhibition Location

When I returned 20 minutes later

the XO vessel

and the wrapping paper

were no where in sight,

Thought someone might

 check the package

then maybe smash the glass

But I hadn't imagined

 a near instant

goneness

X

O

New Year's XO

Happening

Precious memories

an XO triplet

with the wood and the ribbon

from two weeks ago

still on hand

Nostalgia

for an age

yet to come

Change life

change the world

live outside

the fences
