STYLE AND THE DIGITAL SELF-PORTRAIT II

PROOF:CHECKING OUT

ANALYSIS:

A misdemeanour. The penalty. Leaving the living. You pay the fine in days handed over, or minutes chucked out. These are years, constant; what you cash in. Jackpot. Strike the match at the end of the record. A disc slipped. The fee going, then gone. Over done. Cooked. The cheque always in the mail. Delivery. A cent sent. Mailings. This evening, clipped. That two cent title. Lover. Laid out. The plan. An insert formatted. The clipboard pasted on the door of the washroom. And now. The hotel exit. Sign on the dotted line. There will never be a time you can unsign. And under your arm you carry the mole of many. The map of how you arrive anywhere. One X reddened, or stolen, each eyelid cracked. Cheated, a lifetime drying what refuses to be parched. Your essay of place. Unfamiliar. Pirouette. Maybe one last chance. You are here.

  1. How did you take that pic???

  2. Well, don’t forget I have a small car, so my hand is really out of the way, and the camera is pressed up against the roof almost. My right arm looks like it’s by my side, and moving backwards a bit, but it’s really arched up. Cool how the camera plays these tricks.

  3. Cooler yet how you manage to keep the car on the road!

  4. Ha! That was the easy part!
