What's it going to be then, eh?

Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

Long before there was a plot,

long before Johanna Wheeler & Lilly Covington

dove head first into their simmering summer

on Lake Allamuchy, New Jersey,

there was a very real, very deserted tree house

in Massachusetts.

And there were two very real friends & next door neighbors

who confiscated it

for commiseration, conversation & cahoots.

All it took was my imagination to move it...

to the empty meadow

with the commanding view,

Behind Johanna's "cottage"

and Lilly's bungalow.

What's it going to be then, eh?

Commiseration, conversation & cahoots
