Todd Colby's Glee Farm: Progress Garden



I would call you home if I had a device

that would give you a sense of community

and belonging. I would place a cardboard sign

in your vicinity that says "Koolaid Ice Cold"

and you would sit behind it waiting for people to pull

up in their cars and ask for a particular

color or size of the sugary drink. You would

realize that sometimes selling stuff is a really

cute activity that can make people like you if you

do it in the right charming way. It would be like you were

in a trance of community and involvement.

Your previous self-imposed isolation

with your moody putdowns and spiky one-liners

would seem a distant memory. So great would the sensation

of being a part of something be to you

that the simple act of distributing a sugary,

brightly colored cold drink would give

you a feeling not at all unlike the feeling

one gets while dubbing a film with a new,

more modern, benevolent voice. Walking around Brooklyn like

you're in Southern California in your Vans

and really only wanting to belong. This

is just one example of my plans for you.
