“The price an artist pays for doing what he wants is that he has to do it.” William S. Burroughs

INSTALLATIONS

(Art Jasper Johns) – (Poem Jay Simpson)

Installations


Poetic incantation
woman’s voice
rivers flow
earth stands still
indelicate eyeballs
insensitive passions
wayward promises
mangled agendas

burnt cigarette
blackened coffee
gin’s tequila
anonymity
penny farthings
elite machinations
stock market conundrums
cyber attacks

future back travels
through graveyards
mirrors imperfection
sells the title
drummer’s down beat
studio floors
dancers flee
snow filled bunkers

the joker lays
card on table
pressure breaks
stratosphere
death throes
empty sacrifice
tardy soldier
fireside folksong

ammunition ready
rapid desire
sacred revivals
bloodless coup
retrospectives
salon doors
installations
war like rubble

platitudes
eccentricities
endless waring
innate pleasure
