Neither more nor less

Beneath the green snow laden boughs of this stand of low evergreen shrubbery in this TSP snowy winter scene , half a hundred or so park rats live in a warren of dark tunnels--snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug , fat ,warm and comfy--all winter long .

As for our kind , the humans , on a night like this in this same dead-of-winter scenery perhaps by chance a weary jonesin' soul can be spied lookin' for a bag of dope or perhaps a less desperate spirit found , huddled comfy with some cheap vodka under a heap of coats and blankets , at the chess tables . Such is Nature in Tompkins Square Park.
