COWBOY MINIMALISM
for Michelle Weinberg
About twelve
inches or seconds
of pure
pencil is
all any outlaw
needs to draw
both hand
& gun. Most
need less
when the saloon
is cactus
dry
—the whole
town covered
wagon
-dependent, young
& old guns,
for hire,
dying of
thirst but still
a posse—
& an insider, what
every white
male artist
wants. To be

hands of

Auguste
aka dumb
-dumb. The
only one capable
of seriously
loving old air & rubber.

Coffee Spilled,
are you any-
body’s best
friend? Your parents
were hands,
co-signers
& you are
you because
your balloon
bones
know you,
ON AIR
& OFF. I paused
when I noticed
