"I love animating the inanimate..." Scotty Wings reflects on Poetry Object 2018

This piece was fun to write. I love animating the inanimate. Movies like Toy Story or Pets where secret lives are revealed is enormous fun. I found it difficult to limit the story to a series of snapshots. I think exploring the tattoos further is going to be great in a performance piece. There is something appealing about destruction. So when I got my new tattoo of my dinosaur I immediately wondered how hungry he was and whether the other tattoos were friends or foes. I think they are friends, but I wrote it as a dinosaur rampage anyway just for kicks.
