Building Façade Blooms


And thy flowers, fruits and leaves shall turn to stone. Not all, just the ones hanging off the sides of buildings! No one recognizes a prophet in his own neighborhood. Sometimes during a walk you glance at something you know you’ve glanced at before yet notice something you haven’t yet noticed. These ornate decorations to exteriors are no longer in vogue. I could go to the library and look it up in the historical room and maybe they might have an explanation, but that takes time I don’t have right now and might undermined the bemused wonderment felt when noticing something that has always been there and the only thing new is your awareness of it.
