By Josh Dale
is predicated by one’s subjective experience
or simply watching drunks trying to lay
at last call or
people watching while picking
skin around fingernails
or an Irish Car Bomb at
a metal show
upper deck or
in the rat race downtown
packed train then packed bus
then packed office.
Architects design parapets to hide
the cold ugly units on the roof
from the consumers below.
Just keep that in mind.
