found poems from film #1

 I used to make conceptual art in the form of poetry. Or vice versa. Versa vice. poetry in the form of conceptual art. 


Then I stopped and just became myself reveling in the poetry of self. 


Boring?


Let's get back to it, seeing ourselves through others. Let's start with a series of found poems from film:


Palm Royale


It's all a blur

a hazy crazy blur

"Try, Maxine!"

All I do is try.


All I ever wanted was to belong

to be a somebody in this world


But there's a catch 

when someone wants 

to be a someone in this world.


And that catch is:


Everybody else.
