 what goes on at “pier 14”?

most people see two billboards but there are three.

the distance between the little narrow building

and the scaffolding is the width of a common street.

the square shape on the right protruding from the sidewalk

is a large pane of reflecting glass either going in or coming out.

farther to the right is a traffic light.

most people would like to see more traffic lights but there are no others.

there are three parking structures. one in the distance appears to be senseless.

the bucket and pail on the sidewalk lower left are a mystery to most people.

there are four telephone poles if counted one time. additional counting will confirm the arithmetic although a fifth pole appears with its reflection.

the structures appear to be compressed but there is idealogical space between them. chimney smoke was an afterthought but a good idea.

the splotches of ink are added features to display a devil-may-care attitude.

there may be something strange going on behind the single window of the building

beneath the big billboard which remains blank as are the other two billboards.

there are no people nor cars nor trucks to be seen at pier 14.

If you conclude it’s another early Sunday morning, so shall it be.
