I want to write Dirty Art
Filthily creative and disgustingly
I want to make grotesque and beautiful things

That make people think and cry
and wail and laugh
And roll and sing and
Scre!am

I want to open myself wide on these pages
I want to leave you on the floor
Rolling
in deep seizures of pleasure
I want you to hear every pore in my hand squealing
and opera screaming I want to be

Lawless and heinous
and wicked and
Wi!d.

This I do solemnly swear
For God has poured Himself into
this little mind and these shaking hands
May heaven help me show my Creator’s

In this
