  1. whore hotels

    unhinged, i am sucking his cock, he is sitting on the toilet/ the disenchanted bed we slept &fucked in smells soft like the sleep of stones/ it is the bike that sings &pings in the parking place outside the motel door/ death cums in my mouth, &we know we will…

  2. 2 Pictures, 2 Men

    I watched the debate from a cheap motel bed. Politics is like that, too. A cheap whore motel bed where you’ve just been fucked. The slugfest got real when at the final moment, and the debate was over, everyone went back to their corners. Trump’s makeup is so bizarre, it…

  3. GOING ROGUE

    So dope. Last night we had to stop the bike, wrap ourselves in space blankets, smoke weed, and sleep on the ground. And then, it rained Of course it rained, of course, it rained, of course it rained. And it rained and it rained. We were too high to get…

  4. We Collapse

    Riding a bike all day such as a Triumph is far more rigorous than people who are inherently afraid of motorcycles anyway can possibly know. It’s work. Bikes demand the best of you. The physical you. The spiritual you. The exhausted you. Anyone who has taken a long road trip…

  5. Tim Barrus: New York Times

    In the entire time I knew him, Richard Avedon never tired of shooting beautiful things. Even if he had to make them. He imbued Audrey Hepburn with an insurmountable, curious grace.

  8. Sometimes I Ask Them to Build Sets

    The stuff they build can be a HodgepodgeCollagePodge of objects all around them. Sometimes, they take photographs, rip them up, and tape them to the wall. Sometimes, the set will be taciturn and unforgiving. Sometimes, what they cobble together is nothing anyone could have anticipated. I do not critic this…

  9. You Are Over Your Head

    your hair and shampoo and open the windows you have been thinking again and let me lick the lemon from your hands we will drink gin tonight and laugh at all the wounds we ever had and wonder how it is we dream of one of us is the other…

  10. Tim Barrus New York Times Magazine

    I am a pornographer. My books have sex in them. I make it up. It isn’t real. I am also told it isn’t writing. I am here to tell you that if I write something – anything – I will hear from a steady stream of readers who will claim
