For Demonstration Purposes Only

Vivitar advertisement for Vivitar Super 8 Movie Camera: Time, 21 April 1967 (Gallery of Graphic Design)



A past, compounded of parts

For demonstration purposes only.

What is being sold here? Is it any different

If viewed from the foot of an anthill of gauze

Crawled over by an army of busy, industrious

Gauze worker ants, that is to say,

From the future? With its colonies

Configured in graduated latticelike

Tiers of spiral staircases, with dormitory

Platforms built into the successive

Landings, reaching high into the night?
