#497 Seasickness

I am bemused that the 1950s 
saccharine pop song A White 
Sport Coat & A Pink Carnation 
that resides somewhere in 
that ‘songs you grew up with’ 
drawer jumps immediately to 
mind. & yet what else comes 
close to a gaudy sport coat & 
a cut of ham laid out to fester 
beneath a burning sun. They
both provoke a nauseous re-
action, one intentional, the
other not. As Magritte says,
we “live in a very unpleasant 
world … that’s why my 
painting is a battle, or rather a 
counteroffensive.” So, no need 
to be all at sea even though 
the sea is nowhere to be seen.
