Nothing New
I took my dogs into the empty lot at the opening of my alley this morning. We walked through the lot and found nothing new. We walked through the next lot and found nothing new.
I had mixed emotions about not finding any new trash. On the one hand I was happy there was nothing new. I thought perhaps the neighborhood had reached some sort of stasis. On the other hand I felt a little dejected; there was nothing new. The streak was broken.
I craned my neck and squinted my eyes looking for something new and then I noticed...
I kept walking and as I did I saw a new pile of trash poke out from being an overgrown weed that has reached a tree-like state. A toilet. The innards of a wash machine. scrap pieces of plywood, a pile of miscellanea. Right in front of a boat. A new Boat!
Someone dropped off a boat in the night! And not a small one either. It's about 15-20 feet long.
And just in time for the summer boating season. First come first served.
(I will write a part 2 to my public art entry)
