I love this poem! I can imagine both instances in which someone would spray paint I love you on a wall. I'm proud to say that I would be one of those women to cry! Great Job!

"The bags tying a plastic tourniquet around my wrists." What a sharp observation of something so ordinay that most of us would never think of observing it. That's the way of the poem-the eye falling on a bit of trite graffiti sets off a unique chain of thoughts and emotions that makes a dull day something worth remembering.

"I love you. Spray-painted in white letter on the wall by a bus shelter." I love the tone of this line; it's so gripping and raw. I love that the speaker seems to believe that this is some act of god - that it's a 'sign' she's meant to see.

"Balanced on her cheekbones." Brilliant phrasing.

"Maybe a prank to make old women like me cry." What a perfect ending; it's both impactful and tragic.

Keep up the great work! :)
