Now And Then

Donald J. Trump State Park" is a 436-acre undeveloped plot of land in Putnam County, New York. It was called a state park from 2006 until 2010, when the state abandoned it because of budget cuts. It has rested unused for seven years, wasted.

On January 20th 2017 I brought a 55-gallon steel drum into the former park and a bag of shredded $10,000. I poured the money into the barrel and I played with it. I held the money in my hands and I threw it in the air and back down into the barrel. I lit the money on fire but I became afraid, the sight of burning money made my stomach churn. I poured a gallon of spring water from a plastic jug onto the pile of burning money to extinguish the flames. I held the burnt damp money in my hands, towards the sky. I carried the barrel out of the wasteland and went home.
