Description: Words by Stephen Paul Miller. Partial text: I'd like to take this opportunity / to unveil to you our / plans for the New Tompkins / Square Park. / The fiberglass park benches are / being placed on the mideast quadrant / of Ninth Street, near the / Nuclear Reactor, far removed from / the faultline which runs / on a northeast diagonal from / Seventh to Eighth Street. A song about politics and public renovation.
