that come from the supermarket. And honey
isn’t used for tea anymore. Same as the whip
cream you buy at the store. When you’re a ****
star on a very low budget you got to be

inventive. Your phone is your camera. There is
no director. Anywhere you plant your ***
your stage is there. Whatever they donate to PayPal
is your income. You’re still selling your books

very slowly. Last month you sold four of them
only. And you think you did this because of
the recognition you got for taking all your
clothes off. This almost breaks your spirit. But you

do what you must because you know it’s all
part of the game. Plenty of artist’s have gone
insane because of the fickleness of this profession,
that strips more than what’s on the outside –
more than what buttons, zippers and ties.
