WALT CESSNA
Contributing to
Try State Magazine, Issue Two
Coming this Fall

Connect with Walt on Facebook here: Walt

"Walt has an enormous collection of work, his visual fields of urban subculture, self portraits and people as landscapes brings you down the rabbit hole of New York 80's and 90's. His images provoke a raw imbalance of human nature and environmental decay. He makes you wish you had been with him side by side as he walked down the streets as each image flashes by. I love seeing the world through Walt's 20/20." Robbeyond

What is a "dirty little secret"
-our own personal fiction
-are ours to remember as we wish
-are a blurr
-are something that you wouldn't tell anyone else
-always gives you something to think about
-are something you wouldn't want to explain
- are the best memories you will ever have
-lets us know we are alive
-become dirty little lies
-can ruin everything
-are distorted and out of focus
-are a break from reality
-brings everyone to the left
-gives internal joy
-fans a flame, douses a fire
-makes me smile when i'm bored
-means tomorrow is an adventure
-makes it worth getting up in the morning
-i've got a million of them
-brings clarity into focus

what does it mean to you.....

"Unreciprocated"....a poem by Robert L.

Unreciprocated

The next day

and I feel spent as a whore.

The scent of your sex

sits heavy on my face.

I wash and wash

but the ghost smell on my

fingers remind me of

how I probed your ass. And

of how you wouldn't touch

me. I sit at my desk with an

erection. Remembering. And

wishing it to fall. 

(You can read another poem, "Dentist" by Robert L. in the premiere issue of Try State Magazine)
