My Blog

Neg

A man makes an island for himself, and makes a reflective surface of his skin and mind. See him beaten into hermetic sanctuary by the onslaught of the post-Christmas sales. Be amazed by this unspoke...

The Death of Street Ogling

A racy, coiled misfit, camouflaged and crazy. Cool skin on this sullen lady: my skilled and willful pentababe. Always insisting on illuminating the spurious. Bright-eyed and listless. Bring it ...

Growing Up

Awed, reverted, developing. Wearing poisonous words. Treason and fractive hell amiss inside the spiny carapace. Slide in amidst the clenching rapid need. Hissing, spitting animals scrabbling for ...

Kids Today

Now back in MY day& I, they. Here, damn wasteoid youth swagger along and along their pseudo-tragic path(o)s. Rude disasters, churned out of violent or dumb traditions. Mobile mockeries of the sa...

War of the Womb

Couple of Quiet Drinks

Monographs on a beer coaster, used batteries enveloped in ash, childish cacophonous voices. Im mildly (thoroughly) nauseated, yet deeply (not very) satisfied. All very interesting, not fulfilling -...

Scrap

Folks like narrative. In the arena it flows like waves of sewage. Such invasive plays (one cant escape), draw a bead on me: they thump, sweat and scream to me the complexities... Sinews disjointe...

Soundwank

Maximum gigaphone. Crisp complex stereo. Awaken the beating, subjective and mean. Sibilant tones and timbre, extra-ordinarily awful, dismally audible.

Cave of Ze Goblin Shark

This is a freaking vault. This sharing through the keyboard can be a vault of metaphor, plus the place Im about to describe: Here, in my home, the deep chasms instantly liquify the bones of foolish...
