'life of an artist' 

or

overheard in maloca cafe, bodø

@PENISCorp 

gray days in bodø 

a sassy girl making pastries 

a hot one 

christ is nailed to so many walls, 

the life of an artist is maybe 

ignoring all the christ on the wall 

satan is god's god 

i heard someone say 

drink your coffee and shut up, artist! 

π

baudelaire has been entombed 

napoleon entombed 

time to dig up some corpses! 

this cafe sells crystals at the front

i think we frightened the barrista 

none of us shave

all of us long, long goatees 

black jeans, poundmaker boots, 

a sinister black ops battalion 

we're the grey pharoahs, okay

we spell 'pharoahs' wrong on purpose okay 

artists make 'mistakes', then hopefully, sell them? ok?

you had a baby, was that a mistake???

π

a foghorn,,, 

the cry of an arctic puffin,,,

shut up and drink your coffee, artist!
