Spool Loops by Albi Vinehart

So beautiful
So loveless
So what?

Iggy Pop - Insurance Salesman

My Name is Albi and I’m an alcoholic; I always wanted to say that, and have on more than one occasion, in exalted company from camp fires with streets drunks to posh rehab with Matt Lucas’s’ ex-husband. I’ve ridden with the Four Horsemen of your own apocalypse; Depravity, Debasement, Desolation and Death. As Bukowski says on his grave stone, “don’t try”. Unfurl your fetters in the face of powers egregious coteries, it's cruelty and Little Ease. I just tilt my jelly roll at shoddy windmills.
