I will now take you on a quick tour of a two-block area in a Hawaiian mattress zone. Note that this sidewalk mattress with its accompanying garbage pile is absolutely typical of its type, and could be anywhere. We expect this mattress to lie there on the sidewalk in this way, and any deviation (such as wearing a lei or jumping up and dancing a hula) would violate the unspoken rules of its genre, thus losing its relevance within our societal construct. Special thanks to Serena for blocking traffic, driving in circles, and enduring pedestrian stinkeye.

Pardon me for asking but isn't Honolulu better known for things other than garbage?
