"Damn Ross. You send him something. He senses your karma from it. Then he cuts out words from it he thinks describe you at the moment. He pastes it together. Mails it to you.

Later that day your mail arrives and it says you are WORKING UP A SWEAT! glued across your forehead, your own words cut from your own zine! TRY AND EXPLAIN THAT!

If one ever perceives GOD and then it goes away. The greatest moments are when one catches random GLIMMERS of GOD. I'm a sick twisted bastard.

THEO. Pop Art is like wearing worn out high tops every day. Painting non POP ART is like opening the closet, taking out a shirt and suit. Ironing the shirt. Trying to remember how to tie the neck tie. Shaved, showered. Shampooed. suddenly panicked at the REALITY one is about to go sit in church and listen and sing. Do this a while and you'll go back GETTING MORE out of THE HIGH TOPS.
