"The trees on the horizon release the moon, upward,
the electric egg of the moon in a slow ovulation across the sky,
lone as a diamond, as one bad eye roaming." Anagrams by Lorrie Moore

"Sam liked only the trampoline and nothing else. There were dolphin rides, but he sensed their cruelty. “They speak a language,” he said. “We shouldn’t ride them.”
“They look happy,” Kit said.
Sam studied her with a seriousness from some sweet beyond. “They look happy so you won’t kill them.”
“You think so?”
“If dolphins tasted good,” he said, “we wouldn’t even know about their language.” That the intelligence in a thing could undermine your appetite for it. That yumminess obscured the mind of the yummy as well as the mind of the yummer. That deliciousness resulted in decapitation. That you could understand something only if you did not desire it. How did he know such things already?"

This exibits is part of LACMA's ongoing exhibition
Your Bright Future presenting works of contemporary
Korean artists. All the materials were bought by the artist in
the 99cent store 2 blocks away from the museum.
I doubt the sustainability of this project,
but it sure pleases the eye and the heart.
The exhibit has a continuation in the back of the museum
where visitors can leave bright plastic items of their own.
I was eager to participate. The only bright thing
I found in my bag and didn't mind to part with
was a toothbrush. Later that night I could not fall asleep.
I imagined the toothbrush in the dark, the wind blowing. How did it feel to hang there among objects brought by strangers?
10 minutes of such meditating and I was out.
