Pavement Poetry

You don't see sidewalk chalk too often in the District -- it's more of a suburban thing or a sorority-girls-on-a-college-campus thing. Yet as I crossed Dupont Circle this afternoon, I was pleased to see chalkings around the fountain:



This one reads "D.C. GUERILLA POETRY INSURGENCY," which sounds both prosaic & violent at the same time.


This one reads, "URBAN_ISOLATION" on two sides of the squares. The other two sides say the same, but with a drawing of an eye + "SOULATION."


Deep, right? Or something. Eye only sort of get it. Leave it to me to discover crazy hippie peace chalking.
