Reflections on Ugliness
It's odd.
I think this building is totally ugly, the worst kind
of modern architecture:
graceless, ordinary, a grid of supports and glass.
I'd never set out to take a photograph of the building itself.

Yet when it's flipped on its head
and mirrored in a pool of still water
it becomes something else altogether.
Ripple magic.
A watery baptism that washes away all sins.
Everything
turns out to be
a matter of perspective.

Beautiful.
Profound.
Timeless.
