I found this popsicle stick near the bell tower. It was lying in the grass not more than 5 feet from one of the pillars. It drew my attention because it seemed out of place. I caught it lying there out of the corner of my eye. Someone had enjoyed the treat that had been impaled on this object and discarded it without a second thought. It was just simply lying in the grass near trees whose form it had taken at one point in time. It is a symbol for simple pleasures. Written on the popsicle is the phrase "Delicious Memories" which seems to imply a person remember how tasty the treat was and how it made them feel. When a person sees a popsicle stick they are bound to think back to the last time they had a popsicle or an ice cream and I feel that has to entail only good things. Its not art because it is used for a specific purpose, that purpose being to keep your hands from having melted ice cream or fruit-flavored ice all over your hands. It is a favorite commodity for elementary school teachers in aiding with art projects.
