Blot

~

graffiti appears overnight

created it seems as we sleep 

like teenagers’ acne,

akin to most unwanted

arrivals, it looks worse if

attempts are made to erase it,

the acne carries a clear,

strong message, a herald

to puberty and growth,

with graffiti the tenet is

usually vague, convoluted

and indecipherable,

a great irony exists as the

exponent of graffiti is often

the sufferer of the acne,

truly, nature’s way of

tarring someone with

their own brush,
