Mondrian’s window
Over the past couple of years, my friend Ehpem and I have amused ourselves by spotting references to Mondrian (like this) or things we see that remind us of him. Our standards are lax: pretty much anything with more than a couple of rectangles fits into our little game.
And, so, I present: Mondrian’s Window.

Classic Deluxe (Interior)
Of course you know that my rule is to look around back.
And in back of one of the abandoned businesses in Quitaque we found a car. A Plymouth. A big, green Plymouth. It had been there for a while – the license plate had expired in October 1993. My pal over at Lightscatter helped me out and identified it as a Plymouth Classic Deluxe, which were made between 1948 and 1952.
Another rule I have is to look inside – and when I looked inside the car, this is what I saw.

Implied electricity #2
These outdoor outlets are on the same block as yesterday’s electrical cable: another implication.
All of this talk of electricity reminded me of a song – “Stealing Electricity” by the great Tom Russell.

Implied Electricity #1
This long-abandoned loop of electrical cable hangs on the east wall of a now-closed business. The cable has been there so long that it’s weathered past the point of redemption.

The doors hold no mystery
The doors may not hold any mysteries, but who knows what’s behind them. (They were locked.)
