\nHe’s right about one thing: maybe tomorrow, when he cleans off all of the crap from the bedroom set, it will be gorgeous. Maybe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Or do you think he means that it’s beautiful today, and maybe<\/em> will be beautiful tomorrow? Is the bedroom set a shape-shifter? Or does he think that when he removes the years worth of accumulated junk from it, it will cease to be the beautiful thing it is today? <\/p>\n

Maybe it’s really a modern art piece that is a social commentary on the wasteful habits of mankind. The Apple CRT monitor from the late 90s is a metaphor for recycling, and the Amazon.com box on top of the bed is represents man’s inhumanity to man<\/a>. (Something always<\/a> has to represent man’s inhumanity to man in modern art, after all.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
