you can tell how big a city is
by how much of their outer loop in completed.
seems the boundary that has been filled in.
no longer just a space on the map.
no, now its a dot.

the longer this recession,
the less places like ocracoke
get built up and ruined.

poor is not really bad
in every way.
there can be many positive side effects.
