Rude awakening

I don’t have room for more love in me
But I’m a fancy licker

I sit behind you and do those things you never dreamt of
Rude, but not imposing

And you come, and come
Then I purge you, blackout

You yell and you sigh and you sing
I play along the cord

Your’e muscle, your’e clam
It secretes a vague dream

Senseless and alive
I don’t need to touch you anymore

You are already there

Slasher


Lucio Fontana
Concetto Spaziale Attese
(Slashed painting)
Oil on canvas
1965









If I were to put two artworks together, I would like to take the text from Barbara Kruger's 80's work and plonk it together with Lucio Fontana's 60's painting above.
The result would be an artwork called: "Someone wants to slash a hole in you and fuck you through it...buddy"

That would be an appropriation of sorts. Wait until I get my hands on a Van Gogh.

Spectre....

I'm not here
but still you felt me

I've moved on, into the text
and still you heard me

I ran away
and still you cried for me

I never intended
and still you sued me

I crashed the machine
and still you punched the dashboard

I got lost
and still you look for me

I was lucky
and still you hated me

I came home
and still you did all the things above
