Vonnegut-esque

I passed this the other day (didn't have a camera then.  Went back today).  I didn't know the quote or who Chuck D was, but in this age of information, it was not hard to find the quote (lyrics to Rebel Without a Pause) or the guy (part of the rap group Public Enemy).  I liked the addition of the hand and pawn piece to what otherwise would have just been some standard quote that works well as graffiti.  The graffiti itself was just some white paint for the letters and tan paper for the hands on a red brick wall behind some green plants.  I edited my shot to better reflect the mood. ...oh, and disregard the artist's inability to accurately quote the song (as interesting as one big chest game would be, I'm sure he meant chess)...

The thing about it that most made me want to get the shot was that it made me think of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.  It is very similar to a "calypso" found in his novel Cats Cradle.  Which is a great book, by the way.

Oh, a sleeping drunkard

Up in Central Park,  

And a lion-hunter  

In the jungle dark,  

And a Chinese dentist,  

And a British queen -  

All fit together  

In the same machine.  

Nice, nice, very nice;  

Nice, nice, very nice;  

Nice, nice, very nice -  

So many different people 

In the same device.
