A Human Statue


I came out of the Met and walked down the steps toward Fifth avenue when I saw this.  It was a statue of a small man on a small column.  I wondered if this was a human statue, but it was way too small to be a human, I thought, and way too perfect.  The statue didn't move at all.  And then it did!  I was stunned.  He was perfect!  I don't know what he is covered with - it looked like plaster of paris, but probably wasn't.  His costume was really unusual as well.  But I can't get over how petite he was.  An amazing performer, though.
