unconnected utterances

the other day,
i saw a limping man
walking by the side of the road
out by the highway,
carrying a cane
in his right hand

i like to observe
the graffiti
on the walls of the buildings
in the art district
of the run down town

blues and pinks,
colliding
in incomprehensible
written messages

starving artists
bleed
on dirty sidewalks,
and bottles
of half drank liquor
spill
from cold, dead hands

Three striking visual images. The stories of our cities in words.
Well done.
