This Bacon-Lyme face is so perfectly contrite as you knowingly step into the abyss. And you have co-opted Dante as an accessory?? Tsk Tsk!

@harrylyme Is @sundaygray referring to the BW I think she is??? If so why don't you identify yourself? I am slightly delirious but this is nutty! And if you have so many characters and it causes you trouble, there are medications!!!!

@notharrylyme -- it's this one.

@sundaygray BW permits Harry Lyme to live inside his skin--usually uncomfortably. Part of the discomfort results from the fact that there are several other characters trying to live inside the same skin. They often fight with one another. Have I ever met BW? I keep trying to get acquainted with him. He is very difficult to get to know--there are so many of him. Sometimes i think he changes his character as easily as he changes his clothes (that's a line from one of his Hong Kong poems). Talk about stream of consciousness--or is it un-consiciousness?

O @harrylyme , that BW guy sounds fascinating. Driven, accomplished, thoughtful, compelling as a person. Have you ever met him? ;)

DANTE’S DIVINE COMEDY: INFERNO # 1883
Follow
Canto 31:163: GIGANTIC VILLAINS: CHAIRMAN MAO & THE MONKEY KING # 21—outtake [with assistance from Andy Warhol]. While I was teaching in Taipei in 2002, I purchased a stack of Mao era books from Mainland China—including a calligraphy book containing Mao’s poetry in which he likened himself to the Monkey King. I used these books to make a Mao folio of images and poems, which you can see here:

Me: This the last Mao set.
Dante: So, are you going to do Hitler?
Me: If you want to know the truth, several weeks ago, I made some Hitler images. They are sitting in my draft file. I’ve avoided publishing them.
Dante: Avoiding the truth, are you?
Who might the master be who tied him up
I cannot say, but someone there had pinned
His left arm to his back, his right in front,
Both shackled by a chain which held him bound
From the neck down, and on the part exposed
It looped five times down around his torso.
[INFERNO: Canto 31, lines 85-90, translated by James Finn Cotter.]
