From Elaine:
“Couldn’t believe this graffiti I saw in our neighborhood, Kreuzberg. It has multiple meanings.
First it is just means:
Crab Dog
Which, already, !!!!
Also means:
Cancer Dog
And cancer can mean both the sign and the illness.
But krebbs hund could also be a way of saying like “bloody cancer” so it’s also likely to be someone fighting cancer who’s cursing it.
Could also be someone in love with a cancer and cursing that person. Multiple interpretations through mysterious wordplay… Crab, dog…”
In another message, minutes later, Elaine sends me a video of some wall graffiti at a park and writes this:
“Hopefully this video is short enough to manage email sending; the graffiti says on one side:
‘heartbreaker.’
And on the other side in response it says ‘yourself,’ as in, ‘no, you are.” D
