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.
