Shrine http://www.alansondheim.org/shrine.jpg I remember the Shinto shrines in Kyoto and now, here in our capital city of Providence, a shrine to neoliberalism and greed, the Kami have fled across the water somehow back to an other world, to a world of otherness, anything to cancel the lack that gnaws at them, at all of us, you understand already the style of this, continuous sentence but also continuous sentencing, of this wounded land and far too many wounded people, literally and metaphorically, the farther reaches of the hilly city so much cleaner, so much safety, surely something of the wealth and its quiet enjoyment could be passed around, yet instead we have now this construction zone after a parking lot with a two- storey garage was torn down to make room for a parking lot with a two-storey garage or so we've been told, the builders of this city, the entrepreneurs, have no interest at all in the bettering of the community, except of course for those who can pay, the two-storey is the same old story of course, there's nothing new in this account but for the same tale of abandonments, empty buildings, luxury thrown around like the clean word it isn't, the shrine I'm sure already gone, I am sorry I can't be more giving here, in this account, but it dead ends in rubble, the real future of this places, even the enclaves will collapse beneath the weight of violent wealth, subterranean skitter, that other violence, those other bad bad schools. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
