失望しないための境界線
Borderline will be set up for us not to be disappointed

 

 

NY市の行政規則に従い、家の所持者や借家人は、家の前の歩道を管理する義務を負っている。掃除を怠り監視員に見つかった場合、罰金を払わなければならない。そのため、回収の面倒なゴミはたらい回しされ、人為的に境界を行き来していた。
大雪が降ったある日、私はゴミ同様、雪かきをして歩道を確保する必要があった。除雪の仕方からゴミをたらい回しにする人物たちの態度が見えると疑いはいよいよ確信に変わり、私は境界線を引いた。

 

 

According to the NYC Administrative Code, every owner, lessee or occupant of buildings is under an obligation to manage the sidewalks in front of them to the roadway. In case it was found that the sidewalk which is adjacent to his properties was not cleaned, he will be fined. When I thus had been observing the side walk, trash which was not removed came and went over the borderline as if it avoided the responsibility of that.
On a day on which the streets were heavily snowed, neighbors' attitude of the responsibility was clearly seen. I was skeptical at first, but then I was convinced. At that time, I left the invisible borderlines as a wall.
