"Memories in the Pole"
I'll admit, as much as I understand their purpose, I'm not all that fond of posters stapled and taped all over a city. My reason is simply this: as much as they'll help sell an item or find a lost pet, the paper will most likely get ripped down and end up drifting around the city before ending up in a drain. That being said, this telephone pole captivated me. If it would have been possible, I could have stood there all day staring at the two inch deep blanket made from staples and poster corners. What had been there? How was it that this pole was able to bare such a collection? How old was this? Who had stood in my place at one time to either glance at this or add to it? My mind just about exploded with wonder and questions. I guess another person's trash really is another's treasure. I can remember that treasure forever.
