Graffiti on the plateau walls initialed works sprayed on stalls declarations of collected signatures painted sun faces on mural fixtures dedications to anonymous poets of literary quarters of a couple relaxed in the shade of a cafe corner, of rare amphibians on their favorite leafy growths and 'eco-quartier' advertisements, beautifed strokes... all developed over the need to make a statement over the need to cover bare brick abatements have seen them rise and reflect an early morning gloss have seen them fade from public view at a coin's toss grafitti on the artsy walls along the main depicting new superheros in search of refrains... of the squiggles that were once legible letters an art form has arisen from fonts, breaking fetters.

A very interesting and extremely well written piece, Martin... My late son, Eric was a graffiti artist, as well as a med student and a guitarist. He would have loved this poem.  ~ graffiti hugsLyra |

 BRAVO!!! Oh Martin, I have found that there are some things I like about graffiti and some things I don't like about it. In some cases I like it when people rebel and paint their own messages, for somewhere in the trenches of the big city some words of value are just waiting to be understood I am sure, while of course there is a lot of jargon too, whereas the thing I don't like about it is while some things deserve to be exploited it can always lead to vandalism that causes conflicts. (sigh) This is a powerful thoight, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
