The Old House
Just make beautiful things, I am begging you
The old house was sold in September. Soon it was gutted and torn down. The wrecking crew even jack hammered out the foundation.
Through the winter they worked and built. Different crews came in. Then it was done. An off-white box with a flat roof and nothing beautiful about it.
Thank you for reading. Leave a comment and tell me what beautiful thing you are making in 2025
It breaks my heart every time ðŸ˜
Yes, the disclosure booklet is three inches thick. No, the bank won’t sign the loan paperwork without total demolition. But does it have to be replaced with a leaky shoebox?
It’s probably a pipe dream, but I’d like to think that literature still has the capacity to nudge the right people’s arsthetic tastes in a direction that uplifts everyone.
Which house is yours? The white boxed one, no not that one, nope keeping going... I'll just tell you when to stop.
