In the course of my appointed rounds, I several times a week pass a sculpture of Icarus. And I wonder:
Is it more unfortunate that it stands in front of a community college, which goes to a great deal of trouble to encourage its students to take risks, to do more than they thought possible?
Or is it worse that, from the other direction, what rises behind it is the World Trade Center?
Yeah, it’s the second one.

I genuinely don’t know what to say to that other than yes, definitely the second one.

Thank god I am too stupid and tired to see symbolism all over the damn place.
