Not to mention the screen doors and TV screens of suburban LA, squared
plots washed away by mudslides and replaced by recurved giant fangs,
elevated freeways whose turn-offs become ever-more-obscured, entire
neighbourhoods going up overnight and erasing the topii once occupying
the same space, blocks of white stuff that aren't, but may as well be,
the Tube, and three pages of foggy, white-noisey frontpages that
aren't duplications of the same image. Maybe if someone could overlay
those pages some new depth would appear.
Or maybe IV could have been renamed False Heights.
