SEWING MEMORY

Some Notes On The Filming Of BUG DEATH



everything changed on television a mandate

wiped clean with the perfumed wrists of

the first date so traditional like a gun

cleaning kit in the glove box far from

being romantic the rape sequence was

filmed in black and white on an

immaculate beach of a private island

owned by a hip-hop artist with some

cornball name and questionable pull

with minor gangsters back in the

garment district in NYC well of course

I was taken aback as a moth would be

in an abandoned rooming house mirror

on St. Valentine's day I mean that is

quite a palate cleanser let me tell

you and when she stared wide-eyed

as I penetrated myself with the

vibrator I thought she would forget her

lines altogether I mean it was more

than an attachment to some poet it was

acting for god's sake and she held it

together oh and I remember that Mexican

grip asking me 'todo?' but he never called

back it's not easy remaking a classic you

know that's why I shunned the party circuit

back then it's like handwriting you've never

seen in a guest book you won't remember
