the assemblage of found parts, that seem somewhat arbitrary, have the ability create a new whole. So tell me about real. tell me about disappearing - they move like a phantom moan - “perhaps I should have been more like water today?” - I proceed with and without doubt - meeting and meshing to the edges - I bring my body and the mask is on - kiss me through the phone - then do it yourself - fuck clout - re: risk - name the potential losses - is there enough? gimme a holistic fuck - gimme that fake deeper - FACE RIDER
