Bathroom Graffiti, Pt. 1

I like graffiti in bathroom stalls.
it's real
melodramatic,
poised and ineloquent,
extending beyond
the constraints of time,
"JL
+
SM
4EVR"

Rough gouges
and permanent
marks by
permanent markers
and minds
2-dimensioned and dark
on grimy, scratched barriers
vehicles of the words
that I'm pretty sure
no one would actually say...
"I was here"

Stalls clean
and shining
proud of their no-graffiti status
I'm to good for that crap
Barren worlds of
the deaf and dumb
populations of potty-goers
happy to expel
reluctant to express.
