dubai airport
when you float into Dubai on the worlds largest airplane
you get a smooth view of the barbwire like electric lights that
rings the city demonstrating power, money, actually debt, and
an area of intense hedonism. its a bit like the old ideas of
lunar basses on the moon where folk would go and get away
from it all by eating opulent dishes and drinking till sick.
Dubai airport is like any north american shopping mall except in this mall
my friend and i had to spend 9 hours trying to find some rest and sleep.
the nest time you goto the mall try and find a place to sleep
and eat food that doesn't contain sugar and salt enough to feed the local zoo.
Dubai airport is an oasis of lost fools walking around in some
displaced time zone seeking out consumer oddities and a place to park
there tanned asses and find something last minute for the family.
It broke my ass and also made me aware of the excesses of the human
mind spending so much time on shite and energy.
