Songs from the Party Couch

best ever, over the couch and behind the rail

Towards a nomenclature of a nomenclature of a spectacle for nostalgia in tight tight spaces, TIGHT TIGHT Jean spaces Under trash Under lights with a mixed tape and some trash and a couch With a wall Made of bricks Like a wall Made of things BRIGHT BRIGHT Jean spaces UNTITLED party places

It's from either, Minimal Spectacle or, White Cube Cubed. I'm sorry but I can't remember which.
Princess Lake in the Process slouches into the sofa a little more. Did you know that I've been peeing in a green tissue box, Mister Deep-In-The-Knees? I've been trying to describe this unique sunburn, they're not antithetical you know, boxes and sunburns. I want the urine for my colorfast catalyst during the experience but it's difficult. Sunburns absolutely refuse being adapted to my process. Then it's all like an earthquake down there right too, I mean.
The chair by the door is black under all of the discarded coats. When the door opens again he sits up and his head bobs with a, doink doink. He's been agreeable enough but now he feels uncomfortable and awkward despite his pals encouragement. So Mister Knees decides that following her lead is prudent. He says that he can join her later. It sounds like fun, giddy with all the funny ha's. At least until they all find their cameras. But he'll just leave, the Princess won't mind one bit. Do you like doing that, he tugs at an errant ear.
It's not a matter of like, there's no joy in it. You can't get hung up on a groove like joy Mister, She smooths the heavy pleats in her skirt. I know how easy it is to cry and get all heavy heavy, especially when the older kids come out. They're all waving their guns around and talking about, who's got the candy. You's got the candy, they ask. I'll tell them the same thing every time. You know the widows and you know the dogs but you don't know the me.
He nods. There's no boot in my ear now, he winks at her. I like this place. Was it hard to find?
You know me too well, She says laughing like a saint and looking a tad too vulnerable. Her clear blue eye's are soft in the round light from the blinking tree. Mister Knees feels himself getting a little softer for the moment as well. I've been invited to these for years. It's just that something always comes up. Last year I was in theater, class of the dramas as I like to call it. Myrna came out in class of the dramas. Can you believe that... She was on the balcony. She looked down at me. Come come, I pleaded.
So what did she do?
She looked down and told me, Princess you don't know me at all, She said, But I do. Then she came out right there. It was a gas.

Not the Willem DeKooning Retrospective (Not Even Close)

Willem DeKooning, Excavation (1950) oil on canvas Yesterday at work I bumped into this piece by Donald Kuspit on DeKooning's retrospective over at Artnet . Then this morning I bumped into this one on L Magazine's site, by Paddy Johnson . I don't know that Paddy Johnson demystifies DeKooning as much as she takes issue with his pallet, declaring it repetitive and boorish en masse. By contrast, Donald Kuspit writes an article painting DeKooning as a sadistic brute inextricably tied to the modern tradition in general and Picasso specifically. Together they make for some interesting reading, particularly as Kuspit never addresses the show itself in favor of drawing his conclusions from individual works. While Johnson seems to wear the show like an imaginary wool shawl, noting it's uncomfortable, out of style, and the zipper is broken. But she doesn't seem to get to a place that addresses what was actually there either, only what she felt was missing or to her mind ...

Piles of leaves: Letters Campaign

Suddenly old but feeling perfect, my wet underwear is on the the floor. It's gathered round my ankle. Myko laughs, just as wet and full of piss herself. Already, the violence of our togethering feels like more than something. I reach out and take the back of her neck with my hand. She steps in as I lean over the counter and write; Dear, Temperance, October, and Brine, You are more than a place to me. More than walls and simple chimes, but I'll write to you anyway. This you'll know as you read my words. From here beside the lark's buttered breast, from under the heavy lids and the bright side kettle where we'll hum. We'll hum together, Bunny. Dickens be damned, we're now brightly doomed. Soon enough we'll see, the forest within the trees. To you, Tigre PS. are more or only this bed, maybe the floor too.   We spend the day in, ordering takeout and hiding under our sheets. I get up and pee while Katt talks about Milton. Her mouth's open and it's as...

Then he says, I'm still tired but at least I'm awake now. I'll admit it. I'm not ready to stop being angry just yet, He says. I just can't believe that we as a nation have decided that Donald Trump is the citizen among us that most embodies the qualities of this, our only republic. That he's going to be compassionate and strong in the face of adversity. That it can be said of him that he possesses high standards and an unwavering moral compass. That he is a fair minded man worthy of the challenges that these times dictate rather than be confused for a dictator just in time to avoid the challenges faced by his predecessors. I can't believe that as a nation we have decided that when, in the next four years we experien...
