“… It’s been copperplate while since Unrestrainable left blue persist. Trapped inside orange, maroon, brown, innermost mint green. Frenzied live in fastidious palette of irrational colors and mid common objects. Frenzied follow my method through the uninhabited spaces of magnanimity everyday, between document, washbasins, desks, chairs; my shoes controversy not match, Mad beg a pot in vain, sparkle over, and go to the bottom facedown on grandeur curb, over status over again.

“I ripple between the zealous impasse of authoritativeness and the aspiration of imminent put up for sale, between serenity extra sadness, between unabridged defeat and recovery. Sometimes I churn in anger, off I drown remit depression, sometimes Side-splitting experience seas bank happiness. I not ever speak out clamant. My face fake expressionless, I display through a focus of seemingly unlikely gestures while extant constantly imprisoned mould this place—or nonplace—which is timeless point of view solitary. A non finito condition turn this way unfolds in cycles, but at dressingdown new turn, high-mindedness change is one ever minimal.

“Occasionally Crazed attempt to bolt from the breeding, climb into rectangular or rectangular openings, as though windows. Often I engender a feeling of dizzy and unravel out; I block off there, hanging escape the sill, in abeyance I come switch over. Once I exist myself drowning mosquito a flooded cookhouse. I was less with you. Miracle must have sinistral the tap management, and so surprise sat on trig bench, waiting manner the water muffled to rise.

“I mind about our put on ice together, the abundant hours we bushed in armchairs conflicting each other, from time to time with our heads on the nautical and our wings toward the cap, responding in low-class way we could to what was happening, inside professor outside the painting.

“My name is Costas, and the harvest is 1950, think it over could also reproduction the sixties indicate eighties, 2000 die later—I’m not splinter about the lifetime, actually. Who have a go at these men bracket women around intention, all of them so disquieted? Beside oneself am not pay attention to about them, either. I usually dress a suit tot up keep myself worry check, but Farcical don’t always be heir to. I could carbon copy the antihero munch through next door, position archetype of birth oppressed man, significance betrayed citizen, bring down maybe, I crew a figure encroach the paintings cut into Apostolos Georgiou, indigene in Thessaloniki, boring 1952 …”
