Art: Welcome Museum Guests by Alex Duensing
HIDING
Frequently I’ll go away and hide. It makes me feel better about things. It’s not something that as
a grown man I’m especially proud of, butI could be up to a lot worse. Sometimes I’ll tell my
wife I’m going for a walk, but really I’ll just go hide somewhere, maybe the shed or basement,
for an hour or two. I like being home when no one thinks I’m home. I’m not spying or anything,
but it’s nice hearing kitchen sounds from the basement, or yard sounds from the shed. Everything
just sounds a bit warmer when I’m hiding. My family sounds a bit happier.
