December Decay

"Time on its back bears all things far away - Full many a challenge is wrought by many a day - Shape, fortune, name, and nature all decay"

- Plato

The area where I work is full of contradictions. One minutes I can be in the middle of suburban hell surrounded by self-consciously ostentatious "McMansions" and the next by run-down decaying houses and overgrown yards. The latter actually seems preferable to me; at least it feels more honest.
