The Density of Things to See


Funny, how the new can look old. Some where near the water front, old factory (not exactly any fresh factories around here), abandoned, probably to undergo some kind of transformation into condos. I guess that’s what the pipes are for. Apartment buildings, a hotel. The Light Rail snakes through. Space for sky. I was standing on a loading dock. How many years from now will this cluttered field be filled and this view be blocked by whatever construction takes place. The density of things to see always catches my eye. What was here and what wasn’t ten years ago. How new is the new. How old is the old. What will be here and what will not be here ten years from now. This kind of stuff I think about.
