Why do you spend so much time perfecting something hideous?
Abstract expressionist
is a pretty term for a repugnant craft.
and I write this shit because I see beauty in brevity
I see on her head blimp-sized golden headphones
I'm fuckin' living in an age where even your mother's tits are a metaphor.
Once a week I find myself vigorously plotting the death of every hipster with a paintbrush.

It makes me incredibly happy that we would spotlight this subject matter and newsclippings' treatment of it.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

From time to time we need to remind the world that poetry's not all roses and heartache (or razor blades
)
I love to see people step outside the box and do it with such finesse.

A thing of beauty makes men jealous forever. And I'm not talking about the poetry, I'm talking about the thing. It's better not to fuck a hipster with anything, as long as he's getting laid he'll still feel that the work he's doing is worth a damn. You fuck him with a hatchet, and he'll be able to play the suffering card even better. Van Gogh got part of his ear cut off. So what?! That cute guy with the coat hanger sculpture exhibit got fucked by a hatchet! Plus he's willing to have his rock band and all their friends hang out in a McDonald's commerical. He's "lovin' it". And look, the black friend with the bass guitar and the Big Mac is wearing a bunnet!

True, ignore them and they wither... but oh, the temptation is so great sometimes!

Oh gosh I just noticed this. Thank you all so much. Four stars was enough to make me happy, but now I'm all flushed and wordless
I'll be there in a minute.

Congrats! I am reading all of these eventually. Pretty abstraction for an abstract expressionist hater! I likened the close to a distaste of the rich and the tradition of sending their children to 'finishing school'. A hatchet will screw you where ever you stick it! I can see Mom's bra as earmuffs (Oh dear), but not...
