     now welcoming submissions in this vien.


The Urinal (R. Mutt) by Duchamp

Duchamp

Mod bod of up
up sided down
jokes and bad bathroom humor
turned dry sense of publicity
R. Mutt the premature premadonna

Post modern ironic "ism"
with graffiti acknowledged

and whose laughing now?
 


Goya Black Paintings

Man eating giants in human form
leave poetic desipating leverage
for future angst against our human nature

We writhe we eat ourselves
we conquer
and the women only love
those who win.
Look at his face, he can't help himself.

It's only one way or another in my world.
Black and White make greys all over
until the red hits home.


Written by Adam Williams

 


Keith Harring Untitled






Interlude:
the contemporary pallet is black using color
to falsely project images that are not there


I
Haring the great immaculate and daring Haring
caring not enough kept on caring
a lot of hormones makes for lots of cum
drink up Scharf, Warhol, Basquiat, this rum

one line goes in and comes back through you
together held with a graffiti glue
on a subway
People eating monsters, monsters eating people
are these the same thing? For this thing appalls me

II

This great guy took a line and cut it off in the right
and wrong places. the contemporary adds and keeps
the mistake, like our father's we create things and
leave them to decide if they fail or succeed

on their own.

Inside outside By Fransesco Clemente


The delusion illusion of allusion
written by Adam Williams


Kept me outside
I feel vulnerable to the winds and the darkness
I want the insides the beauty of her smell and
coated black lungs of smokey cigarettes
in that painting, let me jump in.

I wanted to dance the dance of the one handed swordsman
the tulip that cut off his own face and left a leg standing upwards
Give me a japanese swordman and caligrapher
Change his name and start as someone else.


Hand me the shadows that arch ever so silently.

Adieu By Julian Schnabel


Adieu to you my friend
Adieu and we'll have lunch some time

Things end and things begin
Sometimes faster than we could stand

I
I traveled the world today
And the man on the left said
I should go swimming
"it's a hot one out here
you look like you could use some
cheering up"

I told him I'd jump from the little building
He held in his hand
If I had the time looking at my watch

"So Adieu to you too "
I said as he ate his sandwich


II
I gave up Hope and Faith as well
In a god Above and started worshipping
All Around.

The air was clean and I saw an arm
Come across the sky
It picked me up like a brush and crushed me
on the earth and let the insides pour all over.

 

adoration by nathan thorin





The eyes, they tire, they become weak and
pain sets in. They see things, they climb up
walls and breasts. You can feel them set on fire.

Those eyes, they breath and they cough
when the cocaine hits the vein
and the erection comes; that's when they close.

This eye knows it's destiny
This eye recieves it's power
with time...

Space is all it needs.
