CANVAS

 CANVAS

When the last meal was served

In the diner on 49th Avenue

The building became dead

A reminder of how many

Businesses have closed during

The pandemic

Like many of us 

During these uncertain months

It found a way to adapt

Over time the building 

Transformed itself into 

A large canvas

Providing an opportunity

For many to express themselves

Brought back to life with

Red

Orange

Yellow 

Green 

Blue

Bubble letters

The building now stands not 

As a testament of sorrow

But as a colorful 

Possibility of change
