Soul Sale

My soul is not for sale.

Cells are whirling. Balls are flying, Trees are snatched by the roots and tossed. I feel the race,

No dream today

push and pull

white sand and oil
smiles abound

Who are these teeth?

That SMILE



Granny Grunt Goes Fishing

I graduated with a BFA in figure painting in 1996. When I left the university some teachers were complaining that the students wouldn’t even bother to draw. “Why should we? We can just trace.”

HOWL!

What’s next?

I don’t know.

And neither does anyone else.

I have no clear sense of direction. How could I? One does certain things in life, expecting things to occur. The results of your hard work and perseverance. MML That just doesn’t work for me. I truly have to live my life one day at a time.
