Before the Gates
February 2, 2005

On this first day, with snow still on the ground, we studied the bases with their curious orange markers. "Would this be the same color as the gates themselves?" we wondered. It was hard to get a sense of what it would be like.

Each one is now only a block of marble with a hole in the middle. They are a little elevated. There are two cones, one on each side. I want to take a cone home.

The gates are not up for another week. There are just cones and metal stuff and they have As and Bs and they are across from each other. There are a million in all directions.

Poem

The sweet smell of Central Park.

Pretty and wonderful.

Leaves.

The smell of mildew and hot dogs.

The bases are plain. They have orange cones marking them and they are black.

Cool. some of them have leaves under them. They have letters on them. They are rock stools.

Everyone was photographed next to his/her "own" base. (Click on each image to make them bigger.)
