Wind Up Broken on The Curb Unplugged



On the corner of Franklin and Hayes Streets Saturday afternoon, there was an abandoned tv set with its innards falling out the back.



A graffiti tagger had already decorated the screen...



...and somebody had written "BE HAPPY" in a dust outline on the top.



What set this apart from litter and into the realm of public art installation was the note somebody had taped to the top over "BE HAPPY," which sounded a bit like Gertrude Stein except that it made too much sense:

IMPORT T.V.'S
EXPORT BRAINS
THROW AWAY $$
REPEAT
REPEAT
WIND UP BROKEN
ON THE CURB
UNPLUGGED
THATS LIFE
GAME OVER
