Untrue

Avenue

Madison Avenue looked this night very much like the first week of June.
The shops are boarding up again.
It made feel slightly melancholic almost nostalgic. Elections? Boarding up.
But I remain moderately optimistic that they are boarding up for nothing.
The gleeful announcements that the US has become a kind of Lebanon (I’ve never heard that shops in Beirut boarded up before elections but alas, they had a fierce civil war and not that long ago) will prove untrue. At least that’s my bet and my hope.
