An industrial press flattening a beige smiley into scrap. REJECT. Counterfeit kills — so we crush it, on the shop floor, in stencil and sparks. Wear it: the festival, the loading dock, the last warm night of the year. Printed at cost — the price on the page is the whole arithmetic, out loud. —spz
That is the whole sum. $15.38 for the item, $4.49 to ship it, and nothing left over — the shop is wired so a sale can never bill the studio and can never pay it either. The book spends twenty-four doors on the line between a signal and its merch, and the only honest way to sell a shirt off the back of that argument is to show you the arithmetic and take none of it.
