Captive to Culture

Tuesday, April 02, 2013
I have begun a campaign of cultural terrorism. In the facility where I work there is an unused shelf directly across from the toilet. Each day for a week now I have been placing cultural items on that shelf across from/in front of the toilet printed large enough be read from the stool. One day it was quote from Spinoza. Today it was a poem and a short analysis from a 20th century poet laureate of Britain. Another day the posting was something from Camus.
Most people in their day to day life don’t seem to delve into anything beyond the headlines or the gossip. My thought is that you are prisoner there on the wc for a few moments. It the only thing available is a post on a wall that says something about eternity or how to interpret something aesthetic well maybe the reader is a little better off. Cultural terrorism it is.

JB, there are employment behavioral policies. You of all people should remember that.
