Maybe Starkey
is just Mal-arkey
I must have said
once upon a time
Then Glen Starkey
found the art key
and light he’s shed
on the SLO sublime
art in public places
reflect in public faces
the joy of being where
people passing stop and stare
and ponder
and wonder
and SLO-down
Glen, thanks for your comprehensive article on art in public places (“Your art, my art … public art,� Feb. 17-24). It boosts local morale. It supports the arts, and the arts support people.
