painted rust
when a city takes a leaking pipe and dabs it with glitter instead of replacing it because that’s how broke they are
They painted the rusted-out subway car like it was a birthday party. It looked like someone threw up confetti.
The highway had holes in it, but they painted over it and called it 'fancy road work.'
I asked why we didn’t fix the roof, and they said, 'We don’t have money, just paint.'
