DIEGO VELAZQUEZ: PORTRAIT OF A MAN

"Welcome abord, Evan.

We know how much you love art,

and you are always here on time.

Welcome to full-time,

in the Metropolitan Museum of Art."

Clapping and cheers came

from all around the room,

but what bothered me

was the fact that Paloma still hasn't came.

Thanks you guys,

I'm going to head home now.

I was ecstatic about working

in my dream job,

but I felt like I cheated.

Before heading out,

I see The Portrait of a Man.

Looking into his eyes,

I questioned whether if I was one or not.

Paloma stopped showing up

after I asked about her drinking.

Did she lie to me

when she confidently

told me she was going to recover?
