Observance: The Meaning of...

ekulu by ekulu · Jan 16, 2003 · 133 views · Journal

tennis shoes hanging on electrical lines



i remeber reading something on ezabel about what that meant, something about drugs, gangs, and the like. But today i saw a graphic representattion of what it meant.

i was walking down my usaul route to the hall by a house where there usually stands a group of five thuggish looking young men. But this time the house was empty and the house was nearly burned to the ground, windows broken out, totally ruined. Then i just happened to look up and there, hanging from the power line were five pairs of shoes slung up as a sort of surreal death count.


hmmm, so if ur death were to be memorialized in a pair of shoes, what shoes would you want it be?

i think that you are mentally ill. and that i'm normal. and i hate you. and if i were to be any show.. i'd be a pair of olympus pumps or l.a. gear light ups.

I think shoes hanging on a wire means, make your own lemonade!
