we will always live in these houses

From an article on Lonely Planet called “Cities You Really Hate”
Seoul, South Korea – According to one comment, ‘It’s an appallingly repetitive sprawl of freeways and Soviet-style concrete apartment buildings, horribly polluted, with no heart or spirit to it. So oppressively bland that the populace is driven to alcoholism.’
I’ll admit that this is partially right and the Korea-in-my-mind is actually Japan, but Seoul is still aces.  It’s just not the kind of place a tour book could “get.” It takes time to love Seoul or an experienced guide, but it’s very, very lovable.
p.s. This is not the finest piece of jounalism out there, but it’s total Korea Times bait. If they get a hold of it, there will be a RECKONING.

This set is pretty amazing. It’s ridiculous that these are all candid shots; the bulk of them look like they could be film stills.

Some individuals will call it a corridor. There’s a long scent of words I can put to use; (the silvery fog coming from the outside vent.) I am striving for abbreviations: Stow each language inside of a pocket like airplane engines; the others will Linger over silvery adjectives. So calm & unbelievable.

I wish my heart was a heart
but instead it’s only a drum
beating my feet into my mouth.
