Chestnut Street

How out of place the present can look sometimes.

Like it's much too large for itself and has to have a big name so we may all know what it is.

Here, even the ordinary can pose as the extraordinary and assume status as an object of desire.

Walking along Chestnut Street, you look up and can't believe what you're seeing--objects in storefront windows look like they could either turn into something they thought they'd never become, or into themselves.
