There's a Problem With This Model

Bean, Hidatsa Shield

WE USED TO BE ABLE TO PRETEND OUR ART WOULD OUTLIVE US

NOW WE’LL BE LUCKY IF OUR SHADOWS OUTLIVE US

logics
Con/Jur/d, 11/3/2024

the logic of what the butterfly tells you
is inescapable, life is short, pretty
and genuine beauty does not

repeat, does not, come 
from showing off -- The 10’000 things

are uncountable, and we did not consent
to be counted

we are not owed anything

and these stories of consequences

karma, histories, abstractions of fear

despite how hard they try, are not

SALES PITCHES

the universe, which you are
is complete

SEAMLESS

you have never earned a thing


only metamorphized
                                  (on repeat)

We’ve been a bit on the quiet side — a few ongoing health issues — and a narcissistic fanatic — who won’t take fuck off — as a withdrawal of consent

WE THINK WE ARE PUTTING OUT THIS VIBE

AND NARCISSISTS SEE IT AS THIS

IF YOU SEE A MIRROR AND CALL IT LOVE — IT’S TIME TO STOP INDULGING

YOU'RE NOT A SERIOUS PERSON BECAUSE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO LAUGH

THE MAPLE LEAVES ON THE OLD GARAGE ROOF COINCIDED WITH A FUNDAMENTAL SADNESS

INEXPLICABLE

Much love,
