Support Structure for Prior Failure Established

The failure was so profound we built a house for it. It sleeps comfortably in the rafters, safely held by our best architecture.

We do not fix the old mistakes anymore; we just gently brace them so they do not fall on the newcomers.

A support structure isn’t an admission of defeat. It is a permanent, physical hug for a system that tried its absolute best.

The scaffolding has been here so long it has forgotten the ruin it holds up. Both are quiet, and both are beautiful.

Every column we erected to catch the crash has slowly blossomed with soft, administrative ivy.
