me and lulu, or lulu and i, took a big loopy walk cross the midway and down blackstone east on 63rd to the halted-half-way running track where obama's folly still threatens to be built. the first thing i see is the fence mask is disintegrating so you can see how far the illegal construction went and on the fence a preying/praying mantis was looking at me. i thought that was good luck and also symbolic of the obama fundation in a way, like he's preying on the land and folks about to get displaced and lose their park are praying for for his defeat. there's something intractable about the expotus's plans, everybody knows. the weed and gravel abandoned running track is run by ghosts.
