all beauty
reveals itself to persistent analysis: wooden chests, bamboo boxes, wooden tea dispensers, wine boxes, although A asserts the priority of the object -- what is called the materialist aesthetic -- in contrast to the idealist anesthetic of B, which privileges the subject (over many objections), nevertheless it's C for containers: boxes, cartons, cases, sacks, bales, pallets, drums; rolling on the floor, difficult-to-handle, ventilated containers or essentially dry vans, but either passively or actively ventilated, either insulated, refrigerated and/or heated for perishable goods; stackable tank containers, for liquids or gases—although mine had folding legs under the frame that moved me between trucks without using a crane—like natural gas, coke or asphalt; gravel; gasoline; cereal grains or non-metallic mineral products; fuel oil, coal, crude petroleum, other foodstuffs; waste and scrap; pharmaceuticals, electronics, motorized vehicles and other machinery (while all this time some D, Meister of Königsberg-type, hand idly stuffed down their trousers, experiences art as a product of--you cannot imagine--the sensual experience of a truth-container: export crating, vacuum packing, railcar loading, skidding, shrink wrapping and others, such as may be removed through analysis. But a real beauty, containerized in the cognitive continent of a broad range of not merely inert objectifications but mountains, trackless oceans, with earrings valued by the subjected in shared abjection and subjugation,  disjointed analysis, of the boxes & crates, pallet boxes, custom crates; pallet racks; skids: custom heat treated wooden crates, in other words
intermodal containers
with squished
air
tubes.

Almost impossible to finish without addressing the aura of the dearly deported
(crowbars inert on the floors):
if you simply open the doors of the Porsches and get in
(foregoing any escalating small talk)
you wouldn't be
(mutandis mutatis)
dead by now.
