On the street where you live

Irving Berlin wrote "I have often walked, down this street before. But the pavement never stayed beneath my feet before. All at once am I, several stories high, knowing I'm on the street where you live". He must have been on something.

On the street where I live, however, they are obviously planning improvements to our lives by laying underlay beneath the pavement. I have looked for gripper rods but can't see any. It is comforting to note that my street gets abandoned detritus along with everybody else's.

"They", by the way, are TPTB - The Powers That Be.

it looks like they have varnished the street too.

perhaps the pathway was carpetted before and they have just removed it and are sprucing up the old pavement to make it look old fashioned and authentic.

i've seen this done with wooden floors on changing wombs.
