Un-Structured

 tracked worn tattered

 once art deco-ed out

sad estate

break-in ruined adobe

streched out  rafters

numerous dust bunnies

just run about

long candy lite halls

sway  groan joints

settle sedimented pipes

nude with paint stains

oh sad

not habitable?

$1.00?

I have never heard of that happening in the UK. i guess planning legislation and red tape prevent that - I could be wrong. There are some good observations made here:- long candy lite halls sway groan joints settle sedimented pipes nude with paint stains I liked this! The title is great. Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

Thank you Kaz

$1.00 plus building relocation cost...the property is now a new parcel. 6 rooms and 2 living areas.A buyer would have to get land to put it on first(there are only two lots near there.) In ink, Dabbler

unstructured????

why was the title unstructured? DUE to the soon demolition of this building? I could feel a sence of beauty, and the sadness that something needs just alittle improvement to be deemed habitable. I think the pace of this was a little like heart strings pulling. love it ending with a ? like who is the judge of this. great write. raina
