the powderblue collision of studios  A B  C in the BACK  arrested him from across the spacious parkway  he imagined its textured blue skin through bare trees and sticks as a wayward piece of sky fallen to earth and stuck in the ground like a small planetary headstone

it was girdled with a yellow strand of black-lettered C A U T I O N tape reminiscent of the ribbon used to form police lines

he had no intentions of trying to walk through a wall  confident hed pull up short

what was this the hubbub
                  early January there were pineworked Christmas wreaths on the doors and strings of coloured lights shining through its windows 

those were now boarded with plywood sheets  their four corners nailed with concrete nails to the stucco

ah   small pale ivory patches sheathed in plastic were affixed to the plywood

UNSAFE

Do Not Enter or Occupy

It is a misdemeanor to occupy this building

(THIS PLACARD IS NOT A DEMOLITION ORDER)

THIS STRUCTURE HAS BEEN INSPECTED, FOUND TO BE SERIOUSLY

DAMAGED AND IS UNSAFE TO OCCUPY AS DESCRIBED BELOW

in a field of four lines written in a weak hand was  Structural Damage

DO NOT ENTER, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED IN WRITING BY THE CITY OF BENTON

1-16-17

the insignificant patches followed the ribbon around the buildings corners like Christmas gift tags affixed to other plywood scabs so someone didnt think the city was referring only to entering through the front of the building  that its sides and rear were negated from the Order

he supposed cities had to be blatant(wasteful – it really wasnt their money they were spending) these days so that occupiers or squatters couldnt say they didnt see the notices and equivocate that they hadnt really committed a misdemeanor(he might argue 1-16 -17 was vague read one through sixteen through seventeen   OH  January 16th through 17th   No    OH  January 16, 2017   why didnt you say that)

he was fortunate

          he had a knack for looking through things if they werent appealing  so despite the municipal swag he looked past it past the fresh scabs of plywoodunder the fluttering tarpaulin weakly clinging to the structures flat top and gleamed what could be and maybe was once upon a time before its owner refused to care for and maintain it – they didnt live there did they 

he never figured pride was obsessive you either had it or you didnt  he also figured it was evident if he ever had the chance to lay his eyes on them    pride is exuded     if he cared to refocus his eyes now and saw what really existed he could probably be confident it was a mirrored reflection of  if not them  their soul   a figurative Dorian Gray portrait

he laid his hand on a side wall and felt its heart murmur

Well friend  you cant read but the notice says it is not a demolition order  Theres that  but Im curious what the structural damage is because we havent had a shaker and from what I see aside from the plywood youre the same you were the year before the years before  maybe a bit more faded by the sun   but you still look like a big piece of childrens chalk waiting to be snatched up and scribbled with
If only there were giants

its heart patiently murmured

he patted its side reassuringly  then took his leave


he crossed the parkway and walking away he turned 360s to gaze at it several times as he went  secretly hoping maybe a giant would lift the fake backdrop the curtain and grab the chalk

“In normal times, the idea that U.S. officials entrusted with our most sensitive secrets would selectively disclose them to undermine the White House would alarm those worried about creeping authoritarianism. Imagine if intercepts of a call between Obama's incoming national security adviser and Iran's foreign minister leaked to the press before the nuclear negotiations began? The howls of indignation would be deafening.

“In the end, it was Trump's decision to cut Flynn loose. In doing this he caved in to his political and bureaucratic opposition. Nunes told me Monday night that this will not end well. "First it's Flynn, next it will be Kellyanne Conway, then it will be Steve Bannon, then it will be Reince Priebus," he said. Put another way, Flynn is only the appetizer. Trump is the entree.”

people write of Drumpfs credibility gap  not only inside America but without(if hes afraid to go to Chicago  he ought to try and imagine his critical reception in Berlin)

I however prefer to wriote of the credible gap in his head 

                                         bubble brain comes to mind(mine  not his)  his vacuous unthinking pronouncements(I think he sits to pee because hes not sure which hes going to do)   

and as the Head of State he exhibits an utter detachment from the People  particularly those who he cited in his New Year tweet “Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. Love!”

he(I cant call him a man) is unmoored  untethered   immoral    a liar(thats what you call someone who lies)
