What We Thought was Art

We called him Mr. Paintbrush Head because he painted self-portraits with his head. His hair was spiked up like a brush, and someone viewing it today might call it outdated. Although, strangely, he wore a sort of uniform that would never go out of style. Would rain ruin his hair, make it flat? I don’t know. It did take him forever to get ready. Sometimes a lifetime, so it seemed to me.
