Spreading stains

Spreading stains

 *+ spreading stains +*
Tags and splashes of colour
Entire train journey a gallery
Suburban Visgoths using spray cans
Make their bids for immortality
On fences bridges and garage walls
Frentic frantic jarring daubings
Trying to communicate a sense of place
Claim recognition from the world
When most travelers as they look out
See the scribblings painted
Only think of visual pollution
These marks oil slicks of suburbia
Inescapable and unremovable
A foreign language ugly
As soon as passed dismissed from thoughts
Wish those self made artists would admit
Crayon class in kindergarten was their peak.
