My take

My gosh this went from simply "cool weird" to "mind blowing" and some of the most phenomenal scenery juxtopositions I've every scene with the burros and the satelites. The first time I had no thoughts and just opened my mind and let it pour in. The second time it felt like a beautiful metaphor of going to work and the weirdness and mundaneness and distractedness of work. But then with a beautiful twist at the end that work can actually matter. And then you go home and start over the next day. Perfect short.
