Tete-a-tete
Cups clatter and clink
as steam rises along with
our hissing gossip.

This sculpture was installed in the Philadelphia Convention center and stopped me in my tracks. It was at least 8 feet by 10 feet. Unfortunately, I didn't spot the artist's name. I hope the poem and image are a reminder not to gossip. :~)

At first I thought they were tiny shells. I'm glad I looked closer! I love "hissing gossip."
Could it be: artist Mei-Ling Hom - installation China Wedge - as cited here? http://philadelphia.about.com/cs/artmuseums/a/paconvention.htm
Very powerful indeed. Tete a Tete is an apt title. :)
I thought they were shells, too!
Great poem!
"Hissing gossip" is spot on!
Fabulous poem and amazing sculpture. The perfect cautionary tale about gossip in so few words. Lovely! =)
