PROGNOSIS, GRAVE

Description

A dying America is portrayed as an incontinent old man in a wool army shirt lying on his death bed. Outside it is night; a storm is raging and in the distance we see a cemetery. His spirit, on a bicycle, rides toward the cemetery.


Hanging on the wall over the bed, a banner proclaims God Bless America (this type of banner was popular in \JII'NII). In the foreground, roaches crawl over eating utensils that have been placed on a chair, alongside his cane.
