A guy in need of 25 cents

A portrait in ballpoint on a box.

You clutter my view

with your billboards, machine arms and blinking lights.

If color were to return

and if skies were to turn blue. We could look beyond the palms and pop those balloons.

The bus pulled up next to your car

Even the ads gazed down into your vehicle

Parking at the grocery store

The bike racks were full.

Employee of the month

Portrait inside of a matchbox

Aquarium family

Portrait with the family chair and goldfish

Painted over heaven

You climbed in darkness carrying your cans and roller only to have the buff patrol cover your piece.

When they ran out of bucket paint

it became very inconvenient.

17 newspaper racks of various types

Almost all give up their publications for free. Some do double duty as trash receptacles. The other duties are to provide visual clutter for passersby and a convenient canvas for tags.
