The Square

Look!

A brand new square. A new plaza. A new platz.

A place for parades and coronations:

Wenceslas, Tiananmen, Tahrir, Gezi, Zucotti, La Bastille…

A place for barricades and an army of one (or many).

Also: 

A place for chance encounters and ephemeral markets.

A place to kiss and coo and soothe a skinned knee.

Eat gelato and drink espresso,

and in seasons of strife, trays of lovely cut lemons.
