they perch on sites worth so many millions
above spanish banks and the burrard inlet -
these three modest pseudo-mansions of the
last century now looking forlorn, abandoned
last century now looking forlorn, abandoned
they have been sitting neglected for years
in the overgrown and barely fenced off lots -
waiting for their inevitable demise to make
way for ever larger versions to rise again
once the residential pride of a few families
such vanquished homes are now reduced to
another boarded up desecration for those
with the means to build bigger and biggest
