semiconsciously you recreate
painful incidents of the
past. like an obsession
then one day you witness your life
it’s like some sappy
forgotten big hollywood
movie… and decide to get real
#katyamills
some introductions fizzle
from the start like a film with award winning acting cinematography and stunts
a musical score to die for
yet the screenplay shallow piss
poor. a non event a bad
reel
#katyamills
Dare I look into these projects you are slumming? Somewhere in each one a person pushed out front, coat-tails blowing up egos in need of personality. Altruism was suddenly a four-letter word like media and Muslim. You made an urban dictionary out of the constitution. Wannabe celebrities still slinging their ghostwritten books, to get a stab at some easy cash before the crap inside all the margins falls out of consciousness and to your cutting room floor… now ankle deep in film, archaic, in a dark corner of ill-literatures.

Here we find a thorough & recent review of my work:
GIBNEYS BLOG: BOOK REVIEW
I like developing black and white film. I learned when I was a kid. I thought life was essentially over just because my body grew up like a weed
Life as a little tyke
hiding in cabinets
essentially was over
Too much light can cause
overexposure. Then people
are killed with kindness
I killed spiders because they scared me for a long time. Then I came to enjoy their artwork in corners of doorways
Most of the moths and mosquitos that would put holes in my clothes and me, and you, never crossed that threshold
I came to believe in spiders.
My mind grew into my body.
I liked the orange darkness of the darkroom, and the whole damn ritual developing
The whole damn ritual
developing
film
artwork
chemicals
Too much light is
unbearable
Kindness
kills
Life is essentially over
and then it begins
at the end
Life is
essential
I came to believe
in spiders
people
moths
mosquitos
you
me
