The stories come,
Slowly at first.
Then widening, bursting,
into rivers of memories.
An article, a report.
The latest projects.
A new highway, a new line.
For development, convenience, growth.
The side effects:
Nostalgia becomes fashionable.
Old is hip, vintage is artistic.
Memories transform into profits.
Some stories are saved from oblivion,
But many slip away
from the shelves of memorabilia.
They simply
Disappear.
