Painted Underpass
There’s a city playground painted
on the underpass walls,
bright colours purloined
from life and trowelled
on concrete, in a slow-energy
town. Under a starless
sky, black fluro spray swamps
the happy scene. Obscene
bubbled letters obliterate
the jungle-gym, and when grey
edges the paint-tag, dirt obscures
the innocent joy
in the children’s painted eyes,
like the passing
of a much-loved pet.

darkerdreameralmost 17 years agomade pieces I like more than this, but the imagery is inescapable, like an illustrated book for children, the picture is vibrant and dazzling... I love that. Wish I could see the graffiti that inspired this.
