New York Tyrant 7 / Brian Evenson Release PArty this Saturday in Ny

my story The MAgic Umbrella is in 7. I might be in attendance. will anyone else?

the face was hilarious

staring from a book cover
it seemed like we could feed it
so you bought it for your mother

she thought it was too sexual
we laughed all through dinner

it gave me headaches
but we wanted to show your brother

he was drunk at the movies

but in his room with the book
it still made us laugh

it had a hold on our evening
we read it as we waited and it was just a boring biography

you kissed the face as a joke, kissed the book, but kept kissing
it began to unravel the joke

the face was at a dead stop
but also outrageously human

the joke was ruined by the kissing
I thought of ways to save the joke
but the photo seemed like a fact we had exaggerated
we'd made special very on purpose

I took it home and read a big chunk
the american male biography
I looked for the pinpointing, the expanding, the sex
it was a smooth, frictionless biography
the kind you can't live with

Fun Opening in NY! November 5th

girls club reading of Anthony Kiedis 'Me Book'

from my vantage point I can see a few minutes handcrafted in Italy

no impurities will pass through my brand new blood stream
I just lie back and relax

I could stick a needle into a thousand-dollars

this is a wonderful smelling gas, legal in Europe

I shot Mexican gangbangers
my doctor is preventative
I've been able to channel my brothers
I seek out wild salmon

what?

I am no expert

I cry two eyes

I cannot rap onstage

I eat Nutella like an Egyptian Queen

I make the spoon a candy

people get nervous in small talk in elevators

they wonder if they have headaches

when people my age go dancing

I paste coupons in an album

when a strange number calls

I leap to the phone like flames

my plants sag

my basil withers with low self-esteem

Egyptian Queens smell really strange but that is half the fun

their headdresses fall in their soup

their soup was made by slaves

their lovers are not proud

their Nutella is spooned incessantly

through hot ass afternoons

here is a commissioned Charles Barkely portrait

email me if you'd like me to paint an athlete, historical figure, loved one for $$$
