Oh to dream of being that guy in the back of a NYTimes society photo.

It is the Stable, taken by Ken Heyman. It’s in the book from the 2020 Tate Warhol show.

Does anyone want to tell me that this is a picture of Joe Brainard looking confused by the Campbell's Tomato Juice boxes?
A few people standing around Warhol's reproductions of boxes for Heinz tomato ketchup and Campbell's tomato juice.

VI
WAS DECIDED
II.
As to gauge against the true democratic question of how many times an election may be run until an answer's decided as the grandeur of democracy is that it is able to be changed from one moment to the next as the belief that any particular event may not preclude any future occurrence as democracy is weighted by its expedience to change both as a benefit to and its mandate that if nothing can be done in the span before the next vote then it is not a thing to be done as there is no lasting decision possible in a democracy or whatever except the [uhh] continuing stranglehold of the state.

BIG DAY. Official release date for LIVES OF THE SAINTS. Huge thanks to @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social and @godzillakent.bsky.social for making it happen!
A picture of the book Lives of the Saints by Michael Marcinkowski sitting upright against a wooden background and pieces of slate. It has an orange cover with an image from a disciple of Hieronymus Bosch showing grotesque creatures facing a figure in a chair with a book on his lap with other figures smaller in the background.

New poem included in petrichor's Pebbles vol. 3: petrichormag.com/23-pebbles-v... @petrichorlit.bsky.social
Image of text: Stillborn water velvet golden hubcap

                    pristine heaven faded padding rhinestone
                    ashes sloughing lacquer warming lilies
                    hollow stubborn pillow welcome choking
                    stringing pastel hearted nettle leaded
                    fallow veiny fatting slump whatever fail.

                    —Michael Marcinkowski
