flowers?

[asakiyume]

I saw this odd little scene two days running, a very tiny makeshift stand by the side of the road, a rainbow umbrella, a sign, a cinderblock (and probably a moneybox somewhere, but I didn't notice--I was in a car), so I made a cartoon (?) about it:





Flowers: a flexible term!

I'm okay with it as a flower of industry! Cinderblocks are wonderful in their way. But I'm shivering at those other flowers--they go with Billy Holiday's strange fruit.

Yeah. I started out thinking of a cinder block as a flower, and enjoying the loveliness of the regard. When the phrase "flower of industry" came into my head, though, it seemed inherently Gradgrindy. Hence the other fleurs du mal.
