Located
just West of the Nortorious Hospital Ankle Stanzas that we
enjoyed
all too briefly at the top of the page. Ensoe and Company
paint a Sprightly and Effervescent tribute to Snakes and Mushrooms
(what mind-altering agents do we now employ for "foreign translation"?)
Taking the highway miles for granted, the color co-ordination and modular intertwining of the Snake are dreams of another
era. Obviously much planning and forethrought - not to
mention Teamwork - goes into place for one these undertakings. We
can often scoff openly at graffiti, but stop for a moment and
visualize the meeting of creative vision that necessitates such
creation. Yes, "wow".
You
haven't shaved for a week; the neighborhood girls are all hung-over
and your mother looks like Frankenstein. Where is the
"remote-control-of-life", you ask? No one knows. No
one cares. We all sleep in the beds we make and try to
find the house-maid. Doesn't
matter what you're after, it's what you're Laughter that counts. The
horses you keep in the stable may be more stable, but the Wilde
Barne over the hill is where your Heart really lingers. Trust
your fingers. They do the walking on the pages of your
dreams. Pink Romance is what makes this sucker deliver
a lightning bolt. If we could all be as different as
we could be different, would the world ever be the same?
And
so, we continue, hungry, but visually content. Blue always
wins in the end, so Ace calls a Spade a Shovel and delivers the
end of the wall from the hands of morbidity.
As we turn away one last time from the Grinding Gears of
Mortality, we reach across the horizon of the the Entire She-Bang at the
fabulous Griffin Health Spa & Day Retreat. Our tired
senses in limbo, we breathe in the grandeur of tortured concrete
as it sings beneath the relentless Wheels of Fortune. It's
a Pancake, it's a Watersport, it's a Cableguy in a Necktie that
strangles the intellect. but here she be for your undertaking
and consummation: Griffin Skate, Whole and Hole-some.
And how much kindness
do we turn back to the ones who sacrified so that we could breath
our first fumbling breaths? Mothers should have a special
place in the world of Graffiti and in the world of "art" as a
whole, not just as cheap sexual objects or items of ridicule
from naive unripe minds, but as martyrs of humanity, as they
are. But as providers, sustainers, and comforters, as they
are. But as reminders that stupid humans capture a glimmer
of hope to succeed as a race that can live with sustainable Beauty. |
