on a fisherman's shack in amagansett, ny , 
there was a small sign that said ' guests ' 
 the shack is now  gone . . . replaced by a fancy  
$2.000.000 summer mansion 
which stands along with hundred's others like it. . . 
 
  all  have sprouted at record speed 
in the sand dunes of amagansett village 
all facing the atlantic ocean. 
 
what remains of the shack is this painted grey sign  
 on a narrow piece of wood . . .  i had the chance to be 
on site the day  before the shack was destroyed. . . 
i kept it with me so something of the fisherman's 
house would be remembered.
