There is a chimney in the background,
a more distant one, but the original chimney is missing. All we can
see is the opening in the roof that the masonry used to occupy. The
newer “stack” along with the newer buildings in the background
are taking the place of the old. There are two chimneys- two distant
chimneys. One distant in space, one distant in thought. One visible
on the farther building; one visible only in the imagination. It has
dropped from sight; it has not totally dropped from memory.
Actually, the fallen chimney is still
laying in a heap on the floor. I suppose the entire building will someday follow.
