What are the arteries of architectural organs, held together by hidden synthetic pumps, categorical beacons, and landlordian spies? You can't unsee them once you've seen them. Lurking above and beneath. Faded, trashed, nutritious, prepositioned for your pleasure and attention. Covered with beams, fingerprints, and hollow promises. Friends with outlets that don't move. Interior inferior to exterior vastness. The least pretentious, yet banging.

Familiar. Plastic in theory. They make announcements from the right places at the right time. Although I wouldn't make a snare drum out of it, they loosely manifest their universal variety as a means of contemplation, at least in their new habitat you've been presented with. Resembling the color of coleslaw. Probably dying of too much nicotine.

Riddle me this. - Lars Nordby
