Tarot Cards Before the Mirror
A wooden sign abbreviates the skyline with letters painted in black, back-dropped against chipped white paint, advertising Tarot readings for 40.00 dollars. The reading’s value is determined by the cost of knowing the future vs. no knowledge of what is to come. A mystery vague as the monetary cycle, an invisible ouroboros, an American Dream. […]

trusting the lawyer
Paradise, Taken by criteria- Performative and mutilated: Pure context. Cadaver fashion classifies Death As Reward And Life As Rot. Hindsight sequencing Disturbs linear allegiance. “Mantra” “Ponderance” (mantra) (ponderance) ////////////////// Conscious plays Truncate a blank stare, Doing so during Menial tasks Like a vacuum running idle, Zoning out in mediation As its motor drones in harmony […]

Set. $3T. set.
I relish an untitled retrieval. Spooky time-lapse Conscripts constant deja–vu. * I lose my keys. (meaning) Forgetmeknots Granting advertisements Unto conscious exposure. ** Outside the experience A rainbow mounts contours Along the edges of an oil slick. A mere dot among litter Making out Forget–me–not In Target’s parking lot. *** Inside the store A Starbucks […]

gobbledygook
An original sheen Designates property atop The Car’s hood. Convinced its gunshots But fireworks proclaim the boom! (sucks teeth) Clock-face oppression Commandeers a blanket term, An expired menstrual cup Exposed on the shelf, Two rubber bands Stored behind the sofa, Bouncing dust And Shadows for luck. Loud-inch-spoils Blind as vampire tension, Classifying Catalyst to FIN. […]

10 Collages:I:Repetition
“The shape of the square confronts the silhouette of the amoeba.”- Alfred H. Barr Spittle mounts a curl upon a lip, promoting “as if,” what amounts to a tug from gravity. A lip representing bevel inclines, splicing gestures for repeat, on repeat, with hand in pocket and raspberries co-opted via tongue thrumming. A word repeated […]

reflections before me
(ordinary) My Reflection strains against the television’s darkness. Unfocused vision formulates flecks of light, jittering beside the right corner and in the center I appear. Polka dots distinguish themselves as eye-sockets, flesh tones arrange dollops of cream cheeks to break the quasi shadows, visible on screen and nowhere else. In the background another face appears. […]

H(y)ist(erical)ory
History defined in linear sequence relishes the abstract, securing human events as mere content for documentation, recommending the progress suggests a beginning, middle and end. Empires burn, ashes procure beds for insects, butterfly wings titillate future gales, carrying flames to burn down the next Rome. If events are distinguished by how it impacts humanity, where […]

kismet bargains
A receipt listing various sundries remains flat on the mattress. Human instincts direct fingers to crease the paper in half, fold in the edges to make a point and bend each side, forming wings. Paper plane rides the still air, descends at an angle, landing where the carpet of the living room meets the tiles […]

The Act of Conforming to the Museum without Walls
1. Window shopping exhibits an exploitation of empathy. Reflections disguised as shadows, but instead of parodying the mirror image, credit scales a bargain: being: A). Cogito, ergo sum B). Nothing matters but Now. The genesis of this arrangement is tied to Time. Conformity was easy when humanity pledged its faith to an omnipresent entity. Every […]

Art as it Appears on Main St.
Dollar General fixes the market share for water-paints. Bristles stay in cheap color, when dipped in tap water, mark the givings with charcoal hue. The concoction adapts to room temperature. A misstep qualifies the liquid’s leverage, taunting it to tipping point. Accidents will happen. * Masterpieces contain a wall with triple-figure-income. Visual art attributes its […]
