Nestled away in an alley off of California St. NW, this mural is a piece by Denver based artist Casey Kawaguchi. It was created in October 2024 as part of the DC Walls BEYOND festival. For more information visit DC Walls or check Google Maps for the locations of the other murals in this series.

A lonely E scooter sits submerged in the Tidal Basin

Elegy for an Underwater E-Scooter

As I wander along, the basin’s edge
A flash of orange did fall upon my eyes
Laid at shallow depth, no hard task to dredge
The e-scooter plain to see, no disguise


O’ scooter, lying in your wat’ry grave
So close and yet so very far away.
Do you dream of racing on, swift and brave,
Or do your thoughts beneath the water stay?


Will there come a day, when someone finds you
And returns you above to the dry shore?
Or shall you remain, submerged in the blue,
Neglected, forgotten, forevermore?
