#outpour

Curtains of reflective plastic draped over cheap piping. Brick apartment buildings with no real bricks, just hastily glued & nailed on sections of textured cement, styled to blend in with nearby older buildings - stately former ‘middle class’ homes now all remodeled into boutiques. Further out, as money glitz starts to decrease, it’s not wood, but vinyl sheeting pressed into the mimicry of painted boards, a monoculture of grass pretending to be ‘nature’,

but those are expensive areas. Reality isn’t allowed in there. There will be some long stretches of ‘park’ - more ‘nature’ - cut into shapes that prevent anyone that matters from seeing the truth. Bourgeoisie, their servants, and aspirants, all live inside big panels of toy city propped up so that they never have to look at the truth.

In some places it’s blatant - like the big beige and yellow walls that cut any view of Buckhead in Atlanta off, in or out. People that have served there know what I’m talking about. If you’re driving on 285, those oddly leveled walls that literally block your view of the ruling class’s special shops and residences. There’s some variant of those in every city I’ve been in.

And though they would try, I know that the people closest to me would have not one clue what to do or say for me to feel any different. So I shut myself away ever now and again to see if I can cure myself.

Maybe that’s not working.

Maybe it never has.
