the seventeenth note: an apology (and a "big why")

This note replaces the one I originally published as the seventeenth note; I made this replacement on Feb 1 2024. It apologizes for that note, which was not worth sharing, and offers an explanation for how I came to share a piece in that state.
A photograph of a printed "NOT IN OPERATION" sign on which someone has graffitied "Why does it exist??"
I took this picture on January 7 2016 in a bathroom at Los Angeles International Airport. All of its content seems pertinent here.
