I’ve got George Powers
He’s bad.
So I keep him in the back.
In the dark passages of my brain.
He’s bad.
So it’s black where he lives.
Black and dirty and I don’t like it there.
So I don’t go there.

Sometimes George comes out to visit.
He’s bad so he doesn’t like the light.
So he doesn’t stay long.
He fantasies about the dark but here…
He likes to cut people.
It doesn’t matter how.
He likes to hurt people.
Oud-Berchem, Antwerpen, België
Actually George Powers doesn’t cut people. He burns people with cigarette butts and by people I mean me.
