we built this city on a shifting dune

Maya Angelou wrote a whole book about the coping mechanism of caged birds. Seeing from a distance the arc of a man’s life allows for insight as well. Our humble city investigator who has turned to drugs…do we know why?

“My job is about ruining lives. Quite often rightfully so, but the city doesn’t tap someone gently on the shoulder with a warning. A 30 year veteran of the parks department who likes to take a three hour lunch and sip some wine while he does so gets a punishing hammer dropped on him. Dressed down and strung up on charges, his retirement gone, his sense of place in the world destroyed, and he jumps of the Golden Gate. Because of me. So I smoke crack some nights, like a caged bird sings, because I hope to make it through to when things may get better.”
