Hope Daley Rot in Ecstasy

Step 1: Never enough -- until you get what you want. “I want it, I can have it”. You will never get what you want. Buy several, it’s cheaper. Put them in storage. The Absurdity Team has its own storage unit. It is Las Vegas gold. The team always tries. It is the effort, the effort to make a thing look good - whether or not it was achieved. Teams impulsively need to preserve with no clear objective. Keep doing it. Step 2: Absurd nostalgia is ecstasy. Even with orange paint the pumpkin will rot. Freeze it. Cover in plastic, plastic does not rot. Keep memories from rotting, they are your life. Try. The team tries. It causes semantic confusion for a moment. It is the looking and relooking, for a moment. “Bizarre” and “ambiguous” incite relooking. In confusion there is a pause, there is also fake grass. Pause and find alternative solace, alternative solution, alternative grass.
