PROJECT REBUILD


PREVIOUS TENANTS

Members of the Failed Forest Action Committee
and connoisseurs of I Heart EastVan T-shirts
came together to party.

They expected sophisticated and
unique conversations.

They met Nuclear Family
No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.

Glass Surface, Stucco Stuck with
Bubblegum, and Earth.
Earth family, of course,
had trees for eyes.

The connoisseurs asked the Son of Earth :
"From your eyes,
can you peel away the bark?"
"Do worms emerge from dark?"
He responded:
"Sliced in half they continue to grow".

Head of the Stucco Stuck
with Bubblegum household pleaded
to committee members:
"Loan me all your lawn so I can make
a sheet to cover my king-size bed".

Mother of the Glass Surface said she had
witnessed bits of shadow people land
in windows of the recollection city.

Their assigned outlines reminded
her of the chimera equation,
green abstracted from green.
