LA -- a book from :B (Pt. V)

** To Be Decommissioned on 2/1/23 **

The postures on the court, breaking out into patterned motifs, have been sold the attire they sport by the same machine, incessantly, on television screens within the dens and apartments Anthony passed, or from the car radios the cars that passed him by with their windows down played loud. Those patterned motifs arrayed offensively do their attire no justice, but a basket made in transition does. On the pages of high gloss magazines sold at every checkout counter in the country, these photos will appear, alongside movie stars embroiled in passions, salaciously promulgated upon the covers, covers opening on the all too happy people utilized by those high gloss pages to sell products to those who just purchased the very magazine. Reserve turns to bustle as the crew begins to dissemble equipment and return to the trailer, the kids to their parents. The kids do not even play, now that they are off the clock, but twist up at the foot of arguments between parents about how to make it in show business and beg for phone time, receiving a device that was first assembled by a set of hands the same tone as another of the children.
