Thanks, Janice. I didn't think the piece would be a good fit for Ekphrasis, since the poem discusses the piece but isn't really ekphrastic. But I guess it's worth a shot.

My favorite public art piece anywhere is the one I walked on every day on my way to and from work, when I was a librarian at the University of California, San Diego:

Alexis Smith, Snake Path, 1992

As the video points out, it's especially fun to walk on while leaving the library at night, when Bruce Nauman's colorful neon Vices and Virtues, 1988, are dancing along the top of an adjoining building.
