Beto,
This sounds like a song, a plaintive song much like Our Town. What was disappears. The new is different, sleek, unoriginal. I am reminded of Joni’s Big Yellow Taxi. “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

Dusty rice mills
And cotton gins
The trains ran out
The trains ran in
Out old seven nine
The farms were sprawled
Rain came and went
Time just crawled
We’d drive down the backs
With trunks full of suds
Iced til they froze
Me and my buds
The old barber’s clock
Said Dr Pepper
Ten two and four
Couldn’t be better
But time and the dollar
Plowed it all under
Sold it away
Cast it asunder
It’s paved and it’s built
With strip malls and kitsch
They dug up the dead
Those sons of a bitch
I’m way to the west now
And headin’ on wester
Still penning the verse
The romantic jester
