i’m a thief.<\/p>\n
i steal other people’s looks & attitudes & i fix them to make them my own. there’s so much to it.
\nso much of what i’m not.
\nso much of what i can neither have, nor give.
\nso much universality, still.
\nso much of myself, too.<\/p>\n
i’m a thief.
\ni use other people’s brilliance & talent & beauty to have my pictures radiate with something that was never mine in the first place.
\ni steal their moments of abandonment to the world, the short unconsciousness of their beings, their poses & smiles, their glances, their thoughts sometimes, even.
\ni draw the line between them and themselves.
\ni borrow a part of them for the time of a snapshot, the things that weren’t meant to be seen & noticed, the things that should have vanished.
\ni capture intimacies & identities & secrecies.
\ni steal everything. & fix it.
\nforever.<\/p>\n
i’m just a life kleptomaniac who doesn’t want to be cured.
\nyeah, i’m just a thief.<\/p>\n
