we fret about the loss of places as “our” cities - “our” neighborhoods change
did Hassam worry about “his” Columbus Avenue at the beautiful moment where the South End street grid turns away
the fabric is surprisingly intact with maybe a few regrettable decisions along the edges
searching for this place reminded me of architecture school before google earth
to go and stand where he stood - to see what he saw
to know a city street could be as engaging as your hands could make it
to believe a vision was only a just beyond your solid presence
