Original artwork, not a still
In the heat of battle, my father wove a tapestry of obsenity that as far as we know, is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan.

Behind the line
What it means

A comic exaggeration turns a father's angry outburst into a mythic, almost cosmic event, imagining the profanity as a physical object still lingering over a specific place. The humor comes from treating a fleeting tantrum as monumental and eternal.
