POLARIZATIONS
“A madman doesn’t need success. All he needs is a good hospital.”
Mohammed Mrabet
Experiment is an accident
no matter how carefully planned.
Can’t you see
I’m walking
between abstraction and magic
Because that’s who I am
The buffalo of the Great Plains
ghosting skittish herds
on Champs d’Élysées
under deconstruction. Supervised
by The New Pound Projective
Semioticians
and The Magicians of Jazz Street
Medicines & Mirrors
Weight gain & Hair-loss
Wallpaper of Hollywood Muse
Switching between Calvinist
projection and a drunken buffet
Call the doctor
or print your own magazine
Distribution is academic.
