Cities and suburbs, real and imaginary.

if i had a camera, i would have taken a pcture of this sign

squeezed between a discount liquor store and a laundry service were these black letters on a white messageboard:

special laundry pants
help wanted


i spent the rest of the bike road home imagining what special laundry pants might look like. perhaps they are made of the same material that one uses in lint brushes. one walks around, and everywhere their pants touch, the lint magically collects upon the secial laundry pants.

either that, or they look painfully colorful like a bottle of laundry detergent, and no amount of bleach could ever reduce the eye-searing agony of viwing them.

regardless, help is definitely wanted among the signmen of the world.
