There is what appears to be some menacing metal art across the street from the East Precint Police Station on Capitol Hill. It’s a supermarket cart chained to the lamppost, and in the cart is a soldered abstraction of rods supporting one long vertical rod, which has a police riot helmet on top and, on the visor of the helmet, what appears to be a poem:

power glutton sick / broken shell empty head tell / sayonara foe

Attached to the front of the cart is a convex mirror like those on the sides of the entryways into the police station parking garages, although half of the mirror is shattered. The poem appears on the mirror as well. Some pictures have been taken with a cell phone camera but apparently T-Mobile’s system of getting pictures to email addresses is bullshit (according to the disgruntled person who took them and tried to get them to me for this post and wasn’t able to). So, pictures to follow in the morning probably. Anyway, if you’re out and about…
