the glam peacock thing.

Well-hung teddy bears yield social change.
My golden arena didn’t ask of it yet. Cat’s thirsty.
An amplification of every day. Let’s be marginal.
Throttled down hose, the juicy leather sphere bungles its fabricated relapse, I hope to hold on to what I couldn’t afford to drape.

By Matthew Wascovich and Travis Jeppesen.

I’ve had a very strong urge to be famous lately.

I would rather not gather in a big group talking to people I don’t know and telling them my first and last name and them telling me their first and last name so when someone is published in a medium-sized art publication we can say “I know that person.”
