Just a second
I’ll be present
Like Abramovic
Just don’t call
me a bitch
when I refuse
your video clip
I’ll lay for you
the rhythm table
and together we’ll
create art that’s
unstable
or whatever label
you want to put on it
Will you brush my hair
feed me grapes in my chair
or have me hold a gun
in my hand, like you
/I just don’t care
What is this anyway?
Rock, pop, hip hop?
Balkan Baroque
Give me those
red & black tones
while I scrub
these bones

Performer audience
shiver down your spine
while I control

Dan Graham knows
what I’m sayin
We’ll be vibing
while describing
your attention
become an extension
of him, me, Pipi
No rest till you pass
her performance test
visit each other’s
body & brain
in her home
our body’s the
projection plain
I’m not a girl
who misses much
take part in the ritual
get in touch
