--------------------------------------------------------
in continuation of this storyline, or any storyline for that matter, we
turn to become vulnerable to the times. these are the anytimes. the end
of the world comes and goes, it seems, on a regular basis.
that said, this chapter, or episode functions as the embodiment of the
signs of things to come- a telegram or bottle rocket from elsewhere,
that in clumsy dialect is telling us that we must overcome.
the times are happening in real time.
the naturally inevitable dynamics of every fear, hope or premonition we could ever have.
and as we feel the times rising upwards like a flood, were standing
here knee-deep with our fingers crossed while we hope-fully plea,
"we'll be after everything someday".
this rain smells of memory. memories creating themselves in real time.
and so its written in the usual but eerily accurate headlines, its written all over our weary faces.
tattooed on our eyelids so when we sleep we are speaking dreams of
elsewhere, and subtly and secretly confessing our desperate love for
our busted surroundings, and anything or anyone inhabiting them;
and so in that same clumsy, but very eager dialect, we speak a
born-again stutter, "the times wont save you, your embracing of them
will."
this exhibition holds nothing but a reflection of where we are now, and
offers us nothing but the suggestion of adaptation and (re)adjustment
to the current tides.
this is a binding burden, and we're all in this together.
