Markers

Walking home from the dentist at 10th and Commercial I took a decidedly different route and the joy of walking down a lane I've never walked before. Spatial oddities, inadvertent monuments and, as evidenced by today's post, strained relationships?

For what else could a marker like this tell us about where one mortgage ends and another begins, even if that marker is useless for keeping pets from escaping, plants protected and a bike from falling over.

I spent enough time looking at the marker to imagine all sorts of nasty encounters between those on either side of it. Now I wonder if it belongs to something independent of that. Maybe a parody of that tension. People play the strangest games.
