Municipal maintenance facility

a structure is placed in tompkins square park it is part of a network of civic spaces intended for civil contribution. to the passer-by or the passer-through this distraction, this construction, occupied by some others involves me somehow. at the end near the branch library is a clustering of facilities facilities related to political activity, organizational offices, places for discussions ones begun by two people yesterday or ones on-going for generations by countless many ones that started in this area (neighborhood! community?) or somewhere else pressing issues, burning desires, casual comments, silent observations the right to speak nonsense. voices whether i listen or not, are there with or without mine but with consequence for me my absence will be noted with my presence, i will be held accountable.
