ballad of the graffiti artist

by Bradd Howard

why is my art a crime?
he cried
clutching his can of sanity.

it's the color of things
that reminds me
of all I remember
I need to forget

leaving my love upon walls
traces of my humanity
searching for the correct spelling of fulfillment

for I am neither lonely
nor alone
when you look beyond a cement wall
and see all that is in me

I adore graffiti. It is indeed high art...
