In August of 2006, I wrote a Notice of a Rebirth, and showed a photo of a flyer posted on doorways announcing what future work would be done in and around Plaça Gal-la Placidia, in the barrio Gràcia.
The park and the street will temporarily house the businesses from the Llibertat market as the market undergoes reconstruction.
I remember just a few weeks ago when the park was quiet, peaceful and pretty.
Where people came to meet one another and,
Exchange greetings.
Where little groups came together and
Maybe talked about events of the day.
Where you might've cuddled up
With your honey.
Or just ordinary, everyday folks, having plain fun,
Enjoying a day with their children.
Oh, yes! I mustn't forget,
God's little creatures.
The day has come and preparations have begun in the plaça.
Workers busy.
Erecting a big, Big sign.
The street next to the park that once hosted lively festivities,
Is now separated from the park with
Green netting that surrounds the plaça.
It is now barren and lifeless.
Much like this.
And so,
For me and for others, I sigh ...
