monday funday- hidden art

much my dismay, i arrived in central square this morning about 15 minutes earlier than i needed to be to pick up my zipcar. i already had a coffee in my hand and had just eaten breakfast so sitting in a cafe was kinda out of the question. the closest park is a few blocks away, and it being monday morning, combined with the fact that i'm lazy, made passing the time hanging out in the park out of the question as well. so i grumpily grabbed a copy of the metro and headed over to some benches near the entrance to the t. after a few minutes of flipping through pages of semi-useless facts and a macy's ad, i happened to look over to my left and notice some words written on a cylinder shaped post.



i was so struck by the beauty and longing in these words, and as i looked around, i realized that these cylinders were everywhere! i took photos of a few, and purposely didn't look at the rest so that i could have something to look forward to next week. interesting to ponder the fact that these benches house the homeless night after night. interesting that i turn away when passing this area because i don't want to look at or smell what i usually consider to be the most degenerate part of cambridge. amazing how art permeates into every aspect of life and how it touches you when you least expect it.
