Perpetrators of Art
The Paperbacks


We're engaged in the task
of swapping purity for depth
to perpetrate our art
with the authority our broken heroes had.

I want to do more than tolerate your lies.
If only we could be relieved of all we've done
in keeping these fences in such marvelous repair
to distract from what was never there.

Your unappointed questions have
the same effect as a flashlight
playing back and forth
across a stranger's dark and cluttered room.

I want to do more than tolerate your lies.
If only we could be relieved of all we've done
in keeping these fences in such marvelous repair
to distract from what was never there.

  A Dizzy Chain of Bees   A Northern Allowance   All Available Light   An Episode of Sparrows   Books As Furniture   Bridge   Clifton Square   Communicated Through Blood   Grey Skies   Hesitation Marks   Holocaust Art   I Suffer This Like a Dream   If I Make it Through This Winter   In the Absence of Notable Guests   Inspired Casting   Institutions   Letters Vs. Numbers   Local Celebrities   Make Art   My Landscape is Not Land   No Fatalities   Plans in Advance   Publish or Perish   Raise a Styrofoam Cup   Rattled By Failure   Skinny Sidewalks   Slow Learners   The New Poverty   Things Get Abstract   Who Will Run the Starfish Hospital?
