To look beyond the title zoning of America's finest establishments-- the car wash, the pool hall-- and to focus their selves in a wavering textile of imaginative forms, where blues become reds and reals, wrongs. While passengers imagine, for a moment, that everything on earth is this boring.
But it is this boring?
He knows (whether or not you know) below... there is something we should all live by. This American life. This fashioned delusion of wealth and beauty and corruption: this is boring. (As it should be.) But above it, well... such predictable dribble has always been the means for a quiet end.
The very flow of endless ranting, the very product of life on an easel, leads many to the state of chattered luck, boring features and receding depth. So, is that enough?
Boredom or Insanity?
Certainty or Absurdity?
Furor or Apathy?
Please be sure when you answer.
