Graffiti
Ten long steps away from
the brick wall and
looking back
Covered green and blue
with slanderous jargon, and one
ingenious splash of orange.
Loud character drawings
over bleak block letters.
Spray paint, fades from
black to grey.
The wall shows through.
Inspirations of dialog layered,
quotes of the distant past.
"Come Closer If You Want To See!"
Names of the stranger I pass
linger on my minds manuscript,
while turning a step further away.
Echo's of my footsteps
vibrate against the wall,
and the streets are alive tonight.
