Amid the bustle, there’s a calming reassurance here
A sense of stability in walking streets people have walked for four hundred years
Not far from where Paul Revere’s house stands, history is as much for granted
As the West’s desire to forget it.
In the LA desert, the past is a stretch of sand dunes, shifting and dissolving in the winds of time.
But here the past has structure, holding up the present like a red brick spine.
