Forgotten places and spaces

As I sat on the toilet.

I looked into the mirror and saw another world.

I was transformed to a place where I was merely a witness.

I saw the forgotten America or Canada. The places that have stayed the same and slowly decayed. Where industry used to be nothing but the remnants  could be seen.

Few remained.

And those that did were caught up in that time. What might have been. All those hopes and those dreams.

The industry was long gone.

But they remained.

It is weird but, sometimes I think of things like that in my quiet space.
