(3) Are you tired of pointless questions as “engagers” for any type of advertisement?

If the answer is yes to any or all of the preceding questions, consider yourself informed that The Excelano Project Auditions are fast approaching. Come tryout for our collective of warm-hearted, lovable eccentrics. Please come with 2-3 minutes of original material to perform in front of the group! Don’t be nervous, be fly.

“2am” (Marvins Room Remix) – Justin Reilly

Justin Reilly — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 02:39:18 +0000

Performing at The Lounge in Atlanta, Ga. (July 30th, 2011)

“!X!?!O”

Marion Smallwood — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:39:11 +0000

the caption at her feet says,
“shall i run?”
she is with a puzzled face
a face of which one of the pieces is missing.

the picture on the front of the box she was born in
suggests some sort of cloud or wrinkle was once used to fill the space.
she frowns very often,
but some things don’t have to be permanent.

next, a painting in progress:

a dandelion seed
pinned to the cheek of a young, toothless girl
the other children make fun of her
call her a wish, a walk-in closet, chipped toe-nail polish.

the work is finished with a freckle–
the artist joins her, says
“your shoes are on the wrong feet!”
but she is barefoot.

“!X!?!O”
says the thought-cloud, the older face.

no one knows me here.
i run, i choose.
