"emptiness is form"
in this what's wrong picture
the samurai's complexion
swings a nunchuck in the face
of homeostasis, draws a bell
curve because there's no need
to expend energy with the voice
still in tact. the trick is to really
look for retinal notions
of hospitality or phrenological
statements like do we really need
that zoom in? certain predictive
evasions allow for animal
consciousness, weather systems,
and what the model should look
like, her body a sort of system where
dropkick knocks the chin over the face.
"what is love"
after elizabeth murray
in 1973 she drew steps
and i am a fan of thick oil
irredescent. of what the title
tells you. how the wood becomes
deformed again and again
she places hands where i least
expect them. keyholes obnoxious
and wrong. see them in green
apparently plexiglass fuschia.
so many things can come
out of a wall. blond hair.
legs. sliced anatomy. just
let the boat dock! i want to
take my queries and sun.
