He has come home from the rodeo. Ribbon still pinned to his shirt, red tickets and a lollipop in his pocket, riding the stick horse across the checkerboard floor and looking up at the men he fully intends to become.
Bull riders, ropers, the Duke, a county fair pennant, the family portrait. His own crayon doodles run between the posters. Giddy giddy up.
This is the after too. It just has not turned yet. Everything the rest of the collection is tired from, he is still walking toward. The gray cat is Pollock, who went by Dude. He passed away while I was painting this, so he stays in the room.
