The Amazon Decision

The creator and residents of Rob Dunlavey's Crystal Cities (not the same as Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia) are breathing a sigh of relief at having not been chosen by Amazon, Inc. as one of the the east coast locations for the new company headquarters. Rob Dunlavey's Crystal Cities are the opposite of appealing to corporate tastes or corporate logistics.

They have very few asphalt roads, parking spaces, juice bars, yoga gyms or franchise coffee shops. Transportation systems are antiquated, idiosyncratic or of the two-footed or pedaled variety. There's no place boring to go to like the suburbs or the mall. The forest, mountains and ocean are sometimes uncomfortably close by though.

The Crystal City internet infrastructure consists of yelling loudly, carrier pigeons, intuition and several dusty sets of the Britannica encyclopedia. I mean, really, who would want their corporate headquarters in these rickety old cities populated with dreamers, birdbrains and astrologers?

Birds and Soldiers

Birds and Soldiers
Soldiers and Birds

Soaring above, little brown birds

cross imaginary battlelines

I'm only a little brown bird!

Looks like he's sleeping
Life goes on, even in war.

Drilling, endless, drilling.

When is dinner?
