snapshot pedaling an expensive avenue:
bigger
s not better
s not beggar
s knot
ted loss
snot
architecture
the giant boxes
bland banal
blocked out
of imagination
s home this brown
bulk bleeds
light over
whelms its plot
paranoid
greed power
built battlements
along this urb
an avenue badly
planned castle
oh how the money
rolls out

There are places named for
other places, ones where
a word survives whatever happened
which it once referred to. And there are
names for the places water comes and touches.
But nothing for the whole.
