James Yeh

RIDE HORSE, LOOK AT FLOWERS

Back from being in another country I look at pictures from the trip. With my parents, with landmarks, with scenery.

Allow me to make something clear: what I look for in these pictures is myself.

In some of these pictures I look better than I do.

In some I don’t.
 


THIS IS WHERE I WOULD LOOK AT YOU AND SHAKE MY HEAD SOME AND THEN NOT SAY ANYTHING

I read something on the train yesterday where the writer talked about “rubbing his penis against her waist” and I thought of you and felt happy and then sad.
