A man walked past me this morning carrying a large blue ladder over his left shoulder
His clothes and boots were covered in paint splatter, like a Jackson Pollock painting
He reminded me of my grandfather, white overalls and sneakers splashed with colours he’d painted on someone else’s walls
In a previous life he painted cities and landscapes in a leather-bound sketchbook
A record of places he’d encountered during his time at sea
