figure 9.

$500 buys you a night’s worth of love:
the tiles off-center + off-color
the music fuzzy + attenuated
crackles from dented chrome speakers
an unspeakable effluence of ammonia + god knows what

plate 1. reproduces edvard munch’s the dance
of life
illustration vii. graphs countries number 1-8 gdp per capita
figure 9. charts the death of love

the tv scrambles from color to b+w
the clang of munitions
the pungency of burning tires stills the air

fuck with love

What I’m Reading:
