The Home

Take the half eaten bagel as substitute for the words "stagnant" and "long." A patter begins to develop between a character on the stage. In time, a light shines and illuminates the solitary object on a table near the left: A computer.

Take the computer as a substitute for the words "memory" and "death." Displayed prominently on the monitor, a subset of the substitution of the word "computer" (not to be confused with the object, which is substitute for the words "memory" and "death") is a picture.

Take the picture as a substitute for the words "past" and "moment." The picture itself is a picture of the picture, or, to put it more succinctly, the picture, which in itself is a picture of the half eaten bagel, was taken at a certain time by a camera.

Take the camera as a substitute for the words "us" and "audience." In a certain way, these two things are the same. In a certain way, these two things are not the same. In time, the difference will become clear. In time, the difference will remain unclear, an unfinished journey down the road.

Take the road as a substitute for the words "time" and "inevitable." Earlier we had touched upon the camera, which is to say that the patter of character had touched upon the camera. In this, a sort of loop. In this, a sort of comfort.

Take the comfort as a substitute for the words "sleep" and "uncanny." To describe the way in which the picture was not the picture, but the idea of the picture; as result of the rumination of the camera; at a certain point along this road; of the half eaten bagel; displayed at once on the computer, in the comfort of the home.
