Here, at the Avenue H subway stop, an oddity: bronze rocking chairs, engraved to look like wood and wicker, bolted to the floor of the above-ground station, which takes the shape of a small house with a wrapping porch.
The station agent comes outside for a smoke and turns to where I’m sitting on a bronze chair and says, you know, the men who sit here on the porch all day and drink—they pee on those seats.
