INTERVIEW WITH A FRIEND OF ANATOLIAN CULTURE WHO NAMED HIS DOG "THE TURK"



What about a business where you’d sell
low seats & footstools only
that is, Ottomans
imagine a sprawling warehouse &
loud commercials on local TV channels ‘til
you gobble up the entire footstools &
low seats market, I’d call it—Ottoman Empire—
excuse me a second: HEY! NO!
come here YESH!
did you try to eat the cactus bird?
who’s the fishbreath are you the fishbreath?
who wears the dogsuit do you wear the dogsuit?
who’s The Turk are you The Turk?
Atta Turk! Atta Turk!
