Biography
Statement of Works
3 times – 5 times
The graffiti on the
Whitewashed wall
Of the institution,
Now crumbled,
Has become
The cornerstone
Of our compound
2 for five
They’re going fast
it’s been all my years since my last confession
i uh…
3 times – 5 times
father
6 times
anything else
yes father – i appropriate things
interesting
stereos, radios, amplifiers
i’ve plagiarized at close range
7 times
blank tapes
how old are you
31 –i’ve been doing this all my life – i make sounds
i’ve committed 32 burglaries – one was a church father
terrible, terrible thing to steal from stores, but from a church; that’s god’s house
i stole religion right out from under my feet
god had a flask, i can prove it – placebo hand a loose cannon evangelist
and this has all been a chance to weave opposable thumbs
is there any way to give all of this stuff back?
and this has all been a chance to take my life back and escape with both hands intact
stereos, radios, amplifiers
