Slip It In, Not So Vague

fig. a6) Laugh at the seduction of my thing, its evil is still as sweet.

The drawer with my business can be opened by any angel. Flat and left folded, my shirt's in this drawer. Its purpose is worried. It's being more than the quiet that's settled in there. Drawer upon drawer and opened to this. I'll remember that boat once I've hauled out its line. I'm crossed. I feel as erratic as a cold winter rain. My eyes are frizzy and my skin is all hot from so much haywire, so much botched nerve speak.

I'm alone, sitting in the chair. I'm waiting. I'm alone inside this room. The room that's quiet and tall. The door is shut and the shelf is often bare. The general foam of my experience is standardized. It's sufficiently limited by the nowhere presence of a convicted god, an angry god and someone else's god to not matter much. While none of them are in here with me now, I'm still battered and tossed about like inside knickers at the straits. I'll be left of this shore, you'll see. I'll be alone with this cold and as wet as a cake, I'll be grand.

I'm as a horny as a day fowl. If I could be plucked from this grit and these senseless old stones at my gather then I'd be gone far away. I'd be warm with the few. Turn around, turn around, I'd be gilt and not bare. I'd be hungry for lungs filled with life rather than rooms mired with people. This knife of my hands, this flesh of my wound, this cock of my bird, this ditch of my words, if I could be gathered then I would. I'd be taken alive and worried to work. I'll swim this whole length to be fat at the hands of your butter. I'll be wet before the days of your May. Instead sitting random and as hard as a chair. Limitless and alone I am diminished and hassled with the sharp through these awful ears. Buried in the sweat of your cheek with the tongue from my terrible lies, my cancer, and the cause of my eyes. I am struggle with the burning fingers of a saintless prayer.

The apologist and the appraiser have decided to stay put

dashed wet and grim Oh now, Reagan of steel glitter in pants with which to shake them on down. Oh now, I shit you not for these are the things. Yes in any order you should choose these are the things to please please me, Oh Yeah. - Unmarked letter signed, A to A They'll say to me that it's safe to say so much for ubiquity, for disenfranchisement, and the terrorism of privilege. They'll say to me, With all of the effects from these profoundly toxic effects, is the project of our shared humanity effectively being dismantled. Are these the idle thoughts and sad tidings of despots and the tyrant kings inside of their comfortable towers of raised muck. As I've said before, They're not so far gone as to be gone for the good of all. This is plain to be seen in a world of bent backs and gross hyperbole. I'll sit in any unused doorway. I'll be beside myself while every door is locked. I'll dream of the halls and listen as the curtains, the drinking, an...

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 as ever. The violence of our togethering already feels like more than something. I reach out, taking the back of her neck with my hand. She's stepping in as I lean over to 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 the sheets. I get up and pee while Katt is talking about Milton. Her mouth's open, it's as rou...

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 ...
