Laundryroom Swapmeet

Item:

A bottle of cyan-colored AIRWICK EM5014 Inspiration perfume.

Why It’s Here:

Previous owner has a rare dissociative disorder that has crippled his mind such that he can only recognize objects by vague descriptive properties.  He saw “blue and sloshy” and thought, okay, I guess I do need mouthwash.

Probable Recipient:

Distraught, panicky members of Chicago, glad finally to have relocated it after a long period of meaninglessness.

They wanna have it near them.

I like the phrase “toilet water”:

It really kind of brings the whole cosmetics industry back down to earth.
