The City

1 in 5 Milwaukee city workers live outside its borders, including about 1 in 3 firefighters and police officers.
The 75 year-old residency law was removed in 2013 by a WI state law, which was upheld by the state Supreme Court.

This is a response to the effects of lifting that requirement.

Omnia Vanitas

Look back again—
how the endless age of time comes to pass;
Before our birth, it is nothing to us.
This is a looking glass nature holds up for us
in which we see the time yet to come.
After we finally die.
What is there that looks so fearsome?
What is so tragic?
Isn't it more peaceful than any sleep?
