When our open carriages.. where we were next to our neighbors on the road and could talk back and forth.. have become closed, sealed cars.. where our daily commute (surely side by side with the same folks, day in and day out) is a solitary trip..


When our neighborhoods.. always occupied by the "lady of the house" and info was passed over fences, or from fire escapes... have becomes closed, sealed habitats individual pods where our next door neighbor is that stranger in the line at the mall. .


The concept of community is wheezing it's last painful breaths. .
