This combination of signs keeps popping up all over the city and it is weird how well they work together in colors and composition and also read as a blunt political statement. I first saw them togeher the morning after watching a Frontline doc about torture on PBS. I was realing at the state of the State and washed the bad feeling down with a Methadone doc chaser on HBO. When I woke up, the War and addiction became conflated in my mind as some hellish hallucinatory waking dream that is always in the background looking for an angry fix. Maybe that’s not so far from the truth. Anyway the Afghans are making record amounts of heroin so that ought to fuck everything up even worse. “SNAFU” a jar head might say, but what does he know? He’s doomed.
