Tall fellow: "You'd think it would look clean, or shiny, or something after it rains."
Short fellow to the left: "You would."
"I still don't get what it means."
"Neither do I! You know what I hate about civic art installations?"
"That you don't get them?"
"No—"
"That they're too expensive?"
"How much went into... Is it supposed to be a rat? Some kind of statement about urban decay and urban gentrification? You could build a small building from the steel. No, it's not that, or the expense."
"What then?"
The taller fellow finally walks under the titanic structure that straddles main street, then swats liquid off the shoulder of his suit jacket. "It's that the monstrosity drips rust after it rains."
