Lock-Ghost
Growth used to be growth before it ate itself. Plywood paneling bakes in the sun, garages gaping emptily, septic tanks unburied, unpremeditated, backhoe toothmarks in the dirt, unfinished rooms, unliving. Skeletal frames— hammers stopped. An undeveloped development. Who are these unborn? Their insecurity thrives in the indefinite. They look at us and they think our permanence is vanity. A campfire ring— older habitation— in the scrub south of the new ruins. The human is amplified here. Nothing projects from human mouths. Someone hallucinated through the treated slats toward the murmuring, un-fazed crickets whose reverie supercedes again. The wind scissors through the toothpick houses. Striated clouds pass over. No day is named.
