binge
i try to spin at least a few bugs every day. but once in awhile i’ll go on a more intense bender. wake up and sit down with blurry eyes and terrible breath to tie at least a few before i have coffee. then it’s make a pot and get back to it. the materials pile up all over the desk and i’m picking flash out of my beard later in the day as i fill up the car with gas. i need more beads, more fucken 1120’s, more everything. even though i’ve got bins stashed under the bed that hold the over flow of materials already in the house.
i’m convinced my bodkin is trying to escape the life i’ve given it. it’s always creeping under the layers of bags. hiding when i need it most. one day it’ll make it to the edge of the desk and never have to pick out dubbing, dig out my splinters or do the head cement drip drop again.
spinning deer hair usually puts the indulgence to an end. that shit gets everywhere. the razor makes my bug look smooove, like it’s heading to the prom. i look like some kind of furry, multi-colored muppet.
and then it’s over. the vacuum gets clogged with flash, hair and feathers and soon i can see the surface of my desk and most important my bodkin has nowhere to hide.
