What I Learned in Iraq

Did you learn how to fly?

Yes, I learned how to fly,
and I learned that

none of us

can

be

purified,

except by torture and humiliation.

Roaches

I think with my feet!
Are you some kind of robot?
My heart is an artichoke!
I only exist in a Hollywood out-take!
Will you please be my bitch?

I think roaches are cute!
They got three little crotches!
They talk in trochees!
They eat candy for breakfast!
I think with my feet!
 
 

How Not To Paint

How Not To Paint - Recent Paintings and Photographs - Oil spray alla prima on Masonite

"In recent years the "wet-on-wet" (alla prima) practice has become
well known as the primary method of painting used by such television
artists as Bill Alexander, Bob Ross, and Robert Warren. Since colors
will usually mix if one is laid over top of another while both are wet,
full paintings (requiring at most only a few minutes of detail work
after the main work is dry) can be produced in a short period of time
– Alexander and Ross could produce an entire landscape in under half an
hour on their respective television shows, The Magic of Oil Painting and
The Joy of Painting."

Wet-on Wet Underpants!


 
 

Dirty Money

People talk about money-laundering and bribes and
"dirty money" on the radio
and what they don't
understand is what they don't
understand is what they don't
understand is that it's all
dirty money,
every goddamned dollar in the world.

Art and Suicide

Two guys jump off the Empire State Building at exactly the same moment.
One of them is a suicide, the other is an artist.
Which is which?
