“For the Record”
I am walking in an urban landscape. I am entering a used bookstore. I am approaching the used book buying counter. There is a young woman working there with another younger woman sorting books into stacks on a long table behind her.
I am selling books & records. One record was a promotional giveaway. I see I have altered the cover with a collage of paper & washi tape. I am feeling embarrassed. They buy everything though & I am happy. I hear them crap talking as I leave.
I am exiting the building back into the urban landscape. There are tough looking humans lounging about waiting for buses. I am having to step over them in some cases, there are so many. I am making my way very carefully. I see the old grain elevator.
I am walking toward the old grain elevator because it is a landmark I know. There are many obstacles like fences & railway tracks in the way. In going around the obstacles, I lose sight of the old grain elevator. I am not sure where I am.
1st Thoughts:
1) Expect obstacles.
2) Open eBay to sell old media?
3) Human relationships are not my strength.
