shimmering sign


A crew had demolished several buildings nearby, leaving huge mounds of rubble. In the middle of the pits and small mountains of what remained of those buildings, I saw a colorful sign with a kind of electronic-glossy shine to it that reflected rainbows in all directions--sort of like the bottom of a CD. All that color in the midst of so much brown and tired brick red attracted my eye.

I like it, mostly because it looks rusted and beaten-up but still shines brightly.

I'm really mulling over what we discussed today in class. I wish I could reconcile the compelling and somewhat troubling arguments.
