Open Script
Loose script
Bubble letters
Spinning words
across concrete,
under bridges—
splashed in your face
Politics in bold fluorescent
Politics in bold fluorescent
Free wheeling language
out of a spray can
thrown in gaudy colors
in your face, outside boxes
pushing boundaries
not hemmed in by frames
or clean walls in galleries
saying aloud words heard
in subways, street corners,
poetry slams—words
formed within sounds
and rhymes and impolite
digressions, honed in internal
dialogues, response to the spin
of newspapers, talking heads—
Tags of artists in fat lines
on dilapidated buildings
worn out places
and walls and alleys
set aside for graffiti—
Don’t mistake urban wall murals
with graffiti
