Lerner’s dynamic use of punctuation gives an added shape to his sequences. His lines are almost always broken by a caesura, dramatically moderating the flow of his verse. “It cannot save us. But it can remind us / Survival is a butcher??s goal. All hands / To the pathos. Let the credits,” he writes.

...that the traditional new wave and shoegaze traits aren’t visible in “Get Color,” their sophomore studio outing. The indelible stamp of My Bloody Valentine can be heard in Jake Duzsik’s vocals.

To create further discomfort, Hatry graces the gallery with a pig flesh example of a sculpted bust. The bust lies on a butcher??s table, attached to stuffed clothing to give it the appearance of belonging to a full body. Just as mascara and blush color the photographed figures, traces of makeup tint the greening putrid flesh. Black boots, peeking out from under the sheet, sparkle like the Wicked Witch?...

...catch is, he’s been brought up to kill only those who deserve it. The problem here is that the show built up too fast, and by the end of the second season Dexter had already evaded a statewide manhunt for the “Bay Harbor Butcher?? and the only person who knew the truth about him was dead. Now the show lacks the suspense that made it so gripping, instead relying on a series of subplots. These include Dexter befriending a prosecutor whose brother he accidentally murdered. The prosecutor is played by Jimmy Smits...
