The Alley

alley

 

Two buildings, almost touching, stand next to each other on a skinny side street. They are tall, gray, and stained with abandoned phone lines pressing against hard cement. A connection is lost.  From the alley crack smooshed between them, there is a black paved road that separates one from the other. Together they stand apart.

  1. I always wondered about “alleys” and then I did some research. Seems in our city, the regulation is that buildings must be touching each other OR they must be a minimum of three feet apart. Interesting, wondering why but still interesting.
