from above the wide avenue of "Broadbridge Street", a view including the five buildings on the
right, all derelict and in need of repair: the theatre at the southernmost corner, the restaurant
of very limited functionality, the abandoned dress shop with its still untouched stock, the old
brick office building, the department store on the north end.
no vehicles or pedestrians of any type to checker the area with activity, however slow or fast.
the rail ruts of the cable car, more clearly visible than recently, for the length of this block.
they curve around before the bridge, to follow a two lane road for a bit and disappear behind
the northside storefront.
the narrow little road continuing on up the coast of the island.
lampposts with poster notices of the 'nothing' missing Krimple woman.
debris of various types...can lids, torn paper lanterns, a single leather sandal.
to the left the brush-covered lot and unavoidable,unsightly billboard with its broken-in-place
'action'.
a half mile away, the rooftops of shacks orange with rust. factory shadows.
a chalkwhite sky---today only a little vile.
in a moment, unheralded by any clang or siren, a police van will arrive to remove the body
from the manager's office.
