a boy in a play space marked with the fence and the highlighted sky moving overhead and the basketball courts. a boy moves in a two dimensional frame, with clouds (you know the kind). when he moves his arms and legs swing but his forward motion is marked only by the movement of everything else (scenery of trees, buildings, pavement, motionless silhouette cut-outs, cars, airplanes, fire hydrants, pets). lately every five steps, the boy falls through a tiny trapdoor into a sadhole. when he falls into a sadhole he cries just a little and doesn't quite know why. he reckons it is a kind of small loneliness. but he climbs out and keeps walking just the same. sometimes he sleeps, but when he sleeps he doesn't lay down like you might expect, he just closes his eyes and stands there fast asleep - how a horse sleeps. then it is bright and he walks a ways and hears radios in windows, they say: blah,blah,blah,blah... they say: here is a new way to grow yourself a belly... they say: here is a new way to generally avoid the world... they say: here is a new way to die beautifully without pain. the boy sees inside an apartment and there is a couple there, one caresses the other wishing to be caressed. rain comes in a perpendicular line, but the boy has a umbrella. the boy sees someone approaching, it is someone he knows and is happy, they are face to face, he wants to kiss him/her and he does, a small sign appears: user is away. the boy falls through a tiny trapdoor.
