The news is abused—
cold code strained through inverted
subjectivity
***************
Assassination
is the struggle to find words
that describe genius
***************
The sufficiency
of average-sized eyes is
a harrowing joke
***************
Florida is an
agony of moribund
class repetition
***************
Plagiarism is the
spectacle emanating
from silent mourning
***************
A soft text wrapped in
shock iconizes the breasts
of cultural whim
***************
The gargantuan
problem of discourse is the
horror of language

Conceptualism:
Minimalism plus Michael
Jackson’s memories
