24hours

someone once told me that the thing they loved most about new york city were the water towers atop each roof, and how together, this skyline of water towers, created a narrative more interesting than the famous line of buildings that scrape the sky.

if there is a cityscape, there is a country-scape.

where empty gas stations are the natural pauses in the narrative of the empty skyline
and passing trains build and fade in suspenseful climax.

i understand the country-scape because i understand the person who enjoys the emptiness of a 24-hour diner at 3am and the brimming expansion of a desert sky.
