five string serenade - page 26 - istvan oros - (page 1) 



see the loaf of wonder bread taped onto that telephone pole on the right? david ford was doing that the summer of 2000, all around leedyvile. he'd tape a loaf up, and other loaf elsewhere, and then go back and tape another, and soon bundles of bread were everywhere. it was as though they were breeding by multicellular division, he said. white breadedness was spreading. a farsighted man, that david ford. and quite correct. look at leedyville today. a cesspool of city-sponsored condos and monied johnson county refugees. very nice.

anyways, this was drawn the summer of kansas city's sequiscentennial, meaning this place hasn't been burned down by barbarians (and abandoned) for 150 years . . . 156 now. very nice also. i would never mention time-related events now, but i did then, so we'll just say nips was parroting something he heard and let it go by.

note again that this was a half-sized page. note again the lack of an official title, so i'll give it a random one, which you will perceive has meaning soon.

the building on the right looks like its collapsing, but i was experimenting with odd perspectives; that's union station on the horizon and lidia's (misspelled) in the freighthouse below it. heh.






My god, it's crowded down here tonight.
It's the sesquicentennial.
