AUTHENTIC STONER GIBBERISH
So what else
to do?
Just look out
the window of the train:
trash abounds;
buildings crumple;
a few rats scurry about.
& I think
Welcome to the big city
as urban decay
surrounding me
invokes depression.
We’ll get there soon
and attempt to mend
the fallen dreams of grandeur
& resurrect the vision
of humanity’s best
and last great hope.
Downtown Detroit
Gentrification, prices of buildings skyrocked hundreds of percentages in a few years. Last chance for anyone who lived there before the city was "discovered". San Francisco, same phenomena. Kids of suburbanites and gated community kids want music and art - the cities will evolve.
funny how it applies to so
funny how it applies to so many cities. I was riding a SEPTA train into Philly when writing this piece.
