It flowed
from front of brain to fingertip to
aerosol can,

Fluid, misting poetry
Filled the interstice between nozzle and wall,
And what was left behind was motion,

Transient words.

He wrote his life story on a parking garage,
But when he came back and read

Meant nothing.

Strangely silent though he screamed it,
And the people walked by and read nothing.

Or does it have to be inside a frame?
His was the kind that moved and flourished

where

it

pleased.
