Suppose I'd Met You On A Train

CURATOR:  ...and here we have a rare, 21st century Creekmore entitled Suppose I'd Met You On A Train.  We took down two Rembrandts and a Gauguin to make room for this one.

CROWD:  Oooh!  Aah! [cameras flashing]

CURATOR:  It's an evocative work, to be certain.  But evocative of what, precisely..?  Impossible to say.  The giraffe is clearly meant to represent Creekmore himself...

CURATOR:  But what are we to make of the young(ish) man in the scarf?

CURATOR:  Critics and experts have argued for decades as to the meaning of his enigmatic, Mona Lisa grin.  Does the sight of the elephant, clad in hoodie, conjure up some bittersweet memory of train rides past?  Is it the ostrich that compels him to smile so?

CURATOR:  Why was Creekmore so fascinated with ostriches?  Why do they appear again and again  in so many of his works?  And why is Anne Hathaway also on the train?

CURATOR:  We'll probably never know why Creekmore painted this piece anymore than we know why he eventually cut off his own ear, but our lack of understanding ought not stand in the way of our joy in seeing the whimsy of his brilliance dancing from the back of his mind to the tip of his brush and out onto the surface of the canvas. 

CROWD:  [some swooning, others in tears of rapture]  Bravo!  Bravo!

CURATOR:  We can move on now to the Monet pieces if you want.  He has some water lilies that are kind of okay, I guess...

CROWD:  [angry, yelling at the curator] Move on?!!?  Are you nuts?!?  This is the single greatest thing we've ever seen!!!

[crowd stones the curator and then returns to bask in the light of the Creekmore painting]

Cheers.
