The fountain, which Charles Ma designed, is set in a paved courtyard right by the Better Way Cafe. In summer, he says, it’s hard to keep the children out of it. And there’s a poem which he wrote, carved into the pavers.

we long for a better country; we aspire to live as citizens inheriting a better way together. we are one body, so if one suffers, we all suffer, giving is better than receiving, so if one rejoices, we all celebrate. the greatest of neighbours is the servant of all; in green pastures and beside still waters, He restores our souls. standing together on these sure foundations, we await a city whose architect and builder is God.
