Matthew Wascovich – Redevelop


Matthew Wascovich

Redevelop


Why did you leave, Slinky?  Stuck with hair spray, pots, and
pans, swinging like a remote control on Wall Street.  Why did
you leave, Backpack?  Left with spinal support by grandness on
the subway, half a world from contact.  Why did you leave,
Slinky?  Percolating with nastiness, unable to snap back at you,
only able to look away.
