Were I a Sculptor

At the intersection of 3rd and F downtown here in Davisthere is a sculpture of two joggers, clad in shorts and t-shirts, running in opposite directions, with index fingers pointing up and forward. In times past this sculpture was the subject of serious debate in the City Council: people were worried that somebody would be impaled on one of the fingers.

Since it is 2006, it is time for the sculpture to be updated. Instead of two joggers, picture two students walking past hauling overloaded teardrop-shaped backpacks, holding cell phones glued to their faces, oblivious to each other and to the world.
