Bypassed and Mute

 
A blue chair has been dumped in what was once a busy zone near downtown, Toledo, Ohio.  This area went from being a major warehouse and transportation district to abandonment and ruins, then to demolition -- an awaiting of future urban use.  During its abandoned phase I wrote

"Parts to this zone of commerce bypassed and mute
Where trees sprout on doorsteps, bowlegged railspurs
End as thistles."
