Manifesto


I have found new ways to shape your view of the world

I am a sculpture born from the hand of the master

I am a crushed fistful of lapis lazuli

I am the heat of mercury and sulphur

I am the sword of light in the darkest recess of the temple

I am Cocteau’s best kept secret

I am Duchamp’s next move

I am the stolen diamond in Genet’s pocket

I am the rush of the opiate’s relief

I am the call of Ramadan from the minaret

I am the bark of a dog in the Kings Valley

I am the assassin’s silence that begs to be broken

I am the babe of the egg

My name is Karma Love Kid.

By me is pervaded all these universes.
