Original Vic

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody.  She was the bravest person I ever knew.”

-Atticus Finch
To Kill a Mockingbird


On the wall in my home sits an original Vic

I bought it one day from him in the back of a church where they let him store his paintings

I envision his creativity in galleries and and all the notoriety and all that

But that’s not Vic

His gallery is just where it is

He’s an original

And my wall is better

because on it sits

An original Vic

Dedicated to Rodrigo.

Peace
