The weekly haiku

Everywhere building, and half-dug holes not filled in: hazards in the dark.     The twice-yearly spasm of hutong renovation is once again in full swing.  And once again, much of the work seems to have been begun and then abandoned half-done.  The lanes in my neighbourhood are nearly all impassable, and there's sand everywhere (getting airborne, getting in the lungs).  What gives with this??
