slapanism

the artist

 cynical and sincere
humour and size 44 shoes(UK)
shooting holes in:
	your beliefs:
		what you've been 'told' and what you
			accept
	categorical containment in attempts to 
		understand that which is not difficult
		because the question why is fully 
		loaded and forgotten
	leaving it behind, taking what you want 
from it, imperialist of ideas, 
who is not guilty:
		who could be innocent?
		who would want to be innocent?
	to serious to be practical, we decided.
we sat on the beachcounting waves. 
making truth out of your cultural imperialism,
your colonizing even of your friends, you're
me. 
slapanismists demand the following:
		the question why demands an answer, never 
	leave it behind.
		end of categorical containment. to be 
sure, we use these isms in order to communicate
at all, which is the same reason we use language, 
have languages.
	pause. why demand the impossible.

the art

it is beautiful.

the beret

we only wear hats when it is cold, because our mothers instructed us
to do so.

what is not a structure, therefore subject to deconstruction?
