« One side represented the thoughts of a woman, while the other was the thoughts of a man.  In the early morning light, office people who worked in either of the buildings the walkways was between, walked through the shadows of words from the woman cast by sunrise.  At 5 PM the people exiting work via the walkway, walked through the text of the man in low evening sunset. »
