About

In holes and cracks
sweet refuse.
In holes and cracks
awaits a good nights sleep.
In holes and cracks
the wild silver bull ruts.
In holes and cracks
there does hide...
new values, to up hold.
new forms, to fill out.
new aesthetics, to choose and abuse.
new rituals, to observe.
new stuff, to eat.
In holes and cracks.
