di
lived
here
,
can
you
imagine
it
’s
the
kind
of
place
that
makes
you
lose
faith
,
crushing
a
bleak
assault
of
the
senses
the
sloping
cemetery
above
the
schuylkill
river
,
brown
-gray,
is
a
noncolor.
night
of
the
living
dead
was
filmed
in
a
cemetery
like
this
,
here
in
pennsylvania (
i
checked)
with
dry
grass
and
no
living
feeling
people
in
sight
.
coasting
down
diamond
street
eyes
glued
to
the
view
,
i
feel
forced
to
take
it
in
.
three
-story rowhouses
rust
red
and
brown
,
paint
peeling
off
the
bricks
and
sagging porches
vases
of
fabric
flowers
fading
in
so
many
windows
and
whole
blocks
of
abandoned
houses
with
windows
boarded
or
punched-out
like
missing
teeth
.
there
are
no
children
,
only
slow
-moving
men
in
black
coats
and
crows
keeping
watch
along
the
rooftops.
