The illusion of happiness
This place tried. I’m sure it did. Someone thought it would make a good event space and even draped some tulle back there to make…well, I guess they made draped tulle. Anyway, things didn’t work out and now it just sits there, all broken windows and pigeons and faded dreams.
It was only an illusion. (Or, to quote the lettering on the barrel, an “ilusion.”)

Who knew ilusion came in a barrel? I’ve been looking in all the wrong places, to quote the song I barely remember…probably from my Tennessee days.

I thought ilusion came in a can, but maybe I was actually thinking of whoop-ass. Anyway, now we both know, and can stop looking in the wrong places.
