A VW microbus from sometime in the early seventies, blue once, mostly rust now, staring you down from a back alley in Oak Park, Illinois like it’s got nothing left to prove and nowhere else to be. Close up on the face of the same bus — the VW badge still holding its chrome like a small act of dignity, surrounded by years of grime and oxidation doing whatever they please. The wheel well of the bus, half-buried in mint and rhubarb gone wild, a rusted hub cap disappearing into the green like the whole thing is being slowly, politely swallowed by the alley.
