Branden Koch, “Narcissus and Shithole” (2018), ink on paper, 8.5 x 5.5 inches (courtesy of the artist)

Sucking at the shithole, an unquenchable leach. Caravaggio’s pond rendered black hole: no love to reflect, only shitdrug epidemic nourishment for King Narcissisus. Sucking up the shit flushed away by culture, sucking out the clean air.  Welcome to Shitsville, USA! Feed! Feed! The raging grand shitwizard! Sucking up your bottom feeder crony shitnibblets! Suck! Suck! Your true reflection is our collective dump now boiling over.
