Large, bold strokes
spray painted symbols, words
innocent and sinister hieroglyphs
and slogans in black and blue
on pulsating, animated canvas
Names, times, events, places
feelings and forgotten emotions
weathered, all
Some are ancient, indecipherable
some still hurt some never did
some are funny a few not at all
Many names are legible, a.k.a’s
various wry nom de plumes abound
gratuitous entries outnumbered by
the meaningful but misinterpreted
by others, Rosetta stones be damned
Emotional vandals. Heart graffiti.
