Thrifted Magazine

Mixed illustration and photo collage of a statue reading a thrifted magazine, holding a vacuum power cord draped with wet clothes hanging to dry.

Thrifted magazine
I spy with my little eye
You’re coming with me

A glimpse of the past
Norwegian identity
Right there in my hands

Hitler and Quisling
Controversial cover art
They are on thin ice

If only I had
An easier solution
A targeted ad

Beautiful women
Would my life be easier
If I looked like that?

Commercial thinness
Front page covered with idols
That I’m starving for

Oh, if I could have
The face of Aphrodite
Wouldn’t it be nice?

Chit chat and slander
Eighties complete change of style
A clickbait nightmare

Royalty gossip
Celebrity obsession
What have we become?

Parrot chatterbox
An endless source of snooping
Is that all I am?
