OAK CHIPS AND A DISTILLED TWELVE PACK OF HAMM’S BEER ARE MIXED AND PLACED WITHIN A HARRY ALLEN DESIGNED “BANK IN THE FORM OF A PIG”; FROM THE REALITY LINE FOR AREAWARE.

This
This here
This...
This is an investment

this upending of reality
or segments of that line that defines
this in actuality and intention
this setting aside of time and space...
this something of a Walden with upscale interiors

this finding of an area where we
commit ourselves to the unrestrained gratification
that these intoxicating
thirty-something summer days
might one day deliver us...

something we do not exactly know
something we seek nonetheless

...but something...

more concentrated
more pure
more essentially elemental

but most of all something that is not this
as this could never possibly stand
