me after 48 hours of incarceration from the Coronavirus.

Okay, they have us by the short and curlies. Here I am sequestered neatly in my apartment, on my couch, waiting for a sign that all is well and the plague has lifted. I am reading the New York times what a drag, the Old Gray lady is more fitting. I have eggs, peanut butter, pasta and a frozen turkey leftover from New yea's Eve that I never made because it was canceled due to the flu... Ha, the flu! Does anyone remember that? The insufferable nuisance that sent everyone to get inoculated before it was too late.  Grown men were weeping and elderly women left to spin in their wheelchairs.

   Today a good friend of mine called me from a hospital bed ranting about sore lungs and chest pains. She checked himself into the local hospital and was diagnosed for everything from the coronavirus to a heart attack; fortunately, it turned out to be the flu. Only the flu. who would think that having only the flu, was a blessing? She is now relieved and happy as a little cherub to be quarantined for 3 more days until her corona 19 something or other test is verified; (2 separate issues.) Bye, the way there could be possible internment here of 14 more days if things go wrong. If we hang on long enough spring will come and the flu season will pass. and all of this will be a media memory. media memories do not last long for reasons only oxford professors and sociologists can understand. either our attention spans are really short and underdeveloped or the bulk of the information being fed to us is seething bullshit. I would bet on the latter. Meanwhile noting is getting done and people are distancing themselves from each other.
    Well have a nice day, and avoid Chinese food. 

THE STRANGE PAINTING OF " k"

obscure painting by ROCCO SCIBETTA comes back from the internet to haunt him

              This painting that I did many years ago is of a Haitian woman that I used as a model a few times for a series of paintings called messages in bottles. They were a series of surreal land and seascapes that all had a bottle with a message painted in them somewhere. The woman who I called "K" because that's what it sounded like she was saying, was so taken by the painting that I offered it to her as a thank you before she left to go back to Haiti.  She was so happy that she put a spell on it, some kind of ritualistic prayer she chanted. and said that "Because  you have given the painting away in good faith < It will always be with you."

    

 On the day she was supposed to leave, I was straightening up my work-space and I  found the painting, I  was sure she took it with her. I put it away and forgot about it. then I entered a show and needed an Oddball piece to display and dug up the bottle painting. I put it up with some others that fit the theme and people starred at it but no one would go near it. .Finally, a man came up to me and went on a great deal about it how it reminded him of someone and he wanted to make a gift of it but he lived in Ireland.  If I could wrap it and send it to an address he supplied he would pay me extra for my trouble. because I had a Paypal account I told him I needed a deposit and he could pay the rest in full to the account and I would send it out.  He agreed he paid me the deposit. and I never heard from him again. the number he gave was defunct. I waited to hear from him but he never came back or called me. I still have the painting.

      After a year or two I gave up on ever hearing from  Tom again, that s what he said his name was Tom. I  hung it in a small cafe that had just opened in Point Pleasant NJ.

a man kept starring at the paining of " K" and kept saying to me,  " I really want to have this painting but I'm not sure, I am just not sure.". I didn't have any business cards with me so I told him to tell the proprietor of the cafe to contact me when he made up his mind. The woman who booked the show called me a few days later and told me he wanted the painting but wants to negotiate on the price. the show was ending in 2 days so I planned to meet him at the cafe and we would settle a price. at his point, I was ready to just be rid of the thing at any reasonable offer. When I went to the cafe at the designated time no one was there only the owner. As I was taking down the piece I inquired about the man.  She said " OH, They brought him back to the hospital. It seems he escaped from a mental institution, he was allowed to visit his family for a Birthday he went out for a coffee and he never went back home. he took off, they finally apprehended him here,  after 2 months on a tip-off.".I still have the painting.

        Later It became part of a movie for a scene from Letters of a runaway slave. An independent film. It acquired notoriety and a great deal of attention, but I still have it.  The point of all of this tired and prolix story is that today I googled something that had absolutely nothing to do with this painting or the strange  Haitian woman in it and there it is right in front of me on my screen...  I have no idea why or even how it got on network images. And as for the Message in the bottle...What do you think it is?
