Adam Malinowski
For Sale
For Sale: Ignorant love, impossible science. Falling firebombs. The irrepressible art of paramilitaries. Dispossession of missionaries and malls. Bank fascists on the work. Tar and feather sanctions. Empty discounts for ambitious wages. Executive pensions and faltering strip malls. Car bombs and democratic oil kingdoms. No squalid classes needing love. Wildcat solar and gas. Cayman island suicide. Blackfacing boats, the death of spiritualisms. F-14 Tomcat psalms. Splintering politicians. Wildfires in Oakland and LA.
For Sale: Anarchy for the masses.
