Press release

Bug1 is flying
over suitbertusstraße

i have a meeting with a gallery,
has a site visit with the gallery,
need to see the place where that gallery is —

Bug2 needs to make a show for suitbertusstraße
i find myself thinking about painting when i’m with you,
and one of them has a pink bag.

one of them has a piece of paper,
and it fell out of my bag

because they collided
in a post-conceptual way
like i’ve said,

misguided by kippenbergian wind, you are
the piece of paper
that floats to the ground,
caught in modernist gusts
Junior comes in from up there

to be the american on the wall,
germany in my hearing,
Junior, scared, facing down

away from the ivy on the building
there’s probably ivy
in paris too
i feel slightly uncomfortable in your gallery
like there’s artists in every city
and a painting to explain your life away
and a bug to fly into your space

above a crowd of strangers,
a piece of paper falls out of his bag
“catalogue raisonné” translates to the secrets of my life
