Time and Space: Entry 2, by Samuel Bostick.
“Time and Space. This catalog is an expressive venture into time and space. This has been a theme heavy on my mind, especially making the transition from life in Atwater, CA to Brooklyn. Yes, a second is always a second, but nonetheless, a minute in Atwater is very different than a New York minute. It’s crazy! It seems the best way to put it in short is that TIME and SPACE are measures of presence. Even writing this now, I know it’s further and deeper than that. Hope you enjoy the ride…”

Time and Space: Entry 2
Thanks given for the shelter provided, these four walls that protect and provide.
A roof over head, thas what hour after hour of labor equates to.
Suspension
The quality of life claims comfort.
Relaxation
Relieve frustration; a quiet host for intimate moments and relations.
This is the carving, a body temporarily in place
A stone in motion, rolling year after year; no place to call home.
Cooperation is in. Out with solitude!
…unless of course you have excess ends to spend.
Privacy has its price.
Shared quarters, dollars broken down into four walls. (Once again, here we are)
Subs clawing quickly, connection people places and things.
Operational replacement, attic to basement, Intruder alert!
Grab guns and cans of mustard gas, Rodents spotted!
Execute and exterminate.
This $%^*# belongs to…actually could you remind me who again?
Turning Turning Tables, crowds come around peering with curiosity; the Cat is in a Hat
Reflection of when the old was once fresh, breaking news, epic portion—memories transcend the historic distortion.
Legacy passes along, oral tradition; the kind of thing shared over trips.
City left behind and on the door a sign, that reads simple and clear, Gone Fishing
Orator tradition; to pass time wisdom speaks of past time. This is the passing onward of legacy.
Dive in and occupy what is yours. Expand.
