the spike of infamy & the blip of obscurity
enjoy your 15 minutes of dubious fame 'cause things just changed. in the future- meaning now- it will be a marginally decipherable blip on the monitor as your genius briefly peaks, totters and abruptly tanks with hardly an honorable mention. only those who belong to the flavor of the month trend club will see you spark as you flicker and fall forever into obscurity. yes, there will be another mention of your name and the feat(s) you performed- somewhere in the midst of the tedious countdown of events at the hazy twilight of the passing of the old year into the new. they will recall you once more, but who will be sober enough to pay attention or care?

I wrote this in reaction to current events - the stealthfull placing of a lit up display beneath a bridge in Boston, which caused a bomb scare. It was harmless, but the artistic purpose in it was unnecessarily justified with absurd self importance. I thought - who are you? what will you do next? and what will you do when the novelty of your unclever prank and your arrogance cease to be mentioned and is forgotten?
