"Houses and rooms are full of perfumes...shelves are crowded with perfumes, I breathe the fragrence myself, and know it and like it... the atmosphere is not a perfume.... it has no taste.. it is odorless."
Walking to school this morning, struggling under the weight of my backpack, I breathed the morning air expecting a cold zing to run up my nostrils. Instead, much to my disappointment, hovering in the air was literally the smells of cheap perfume and exhaust from old cars with bad gas mileage. This experience raised the question, is or has the atmosphere ever been perfumeless?
Lets say the world developed an incredible hunger for onions, mass produced onions become redibly available, and the onion eaters, stressed from their long days at work, explode out onion breath with each desperate heave; then the world would smell like onion breath. But instead, with industrialization, the manipulation of body smells and the over cleanliness of the human species, and the overpopulation of the world, the atmosphere has been manipulated into a circus of perfumes conducted below on the crust of the earth. An atmosphere that at one time would have been odorless is now sprinkled with scent.
