The Black Hole Road

The road that we live on is like a black hole.  They've dug it up and repaved it at least 3 times this year. After they're done it always looks so smooth and nice. But then I'm walking out to buy milk one day and I see that the road was actually just a thin layer of payment, over, well, nothing, by the looks of the open space that can be seen underneath where the pavement has pulled away from the sidewalk.  They dump some dirt and rock on it and then pave it over again.  And then the middle sunk in.  So they put some pavement patches over that and now those have sunk in too.  I think there's a pavement monster under there...
