Neither more nor less

Winter or summer Crusty Row in Tompkins Square Park is always the right place to hang out , drink beers and other things , do drugs , fight ,expose yourself , pass out or , sometime at least , all of the previous .

Today on the row ,in a patch of blood and urine stained snow a man passed out supine . Having had much too much to drink we could not rouse him . Later 2 police officers did wake him and got him onto a park bench. The man refused an ambulance that the police offered to call for him .
