Neither more nor less

Just to the north of Hoving Hill , beyond the dog run next to the basket ball courts in Tompkins Square Park , a low spring sun warmly illuminated this little table and its settings late this Friday afternoon . What happened here is not clear . We just missed all the action which apparently included a good beating .

Some at the scene suggested that perhaps drugs of some sort were involved . Police were seen busily collecting objects from the table and the near-by seating .

As we passed the open door of the ambulance at the scene we saw a bleeding , battered male inside . We also saw what appeared to be two males in a police car parked near-by .
