graffiti walls at far east plaza-seize the day.


something beautiful
a contradiction
wanna play the game too
the friction
of secret messages and sweet exchange

bury them
with more paint
but, they won't be smothered
no, they won't be murdered.

with a thousand thoughts,
these empty walls are filled
with life and love
and volatile permanence.

come cloth these walls,
feel them, fill them
and love them like i do

emptiness does love company.

a spontaneous yes i would say, to leaving a print on the walls that line level one of far east plaza.
one place that never failed to arrest my attention during college days as a young and reckless adolescent.
these walls tucked way below level ground are most able to ironically satisfy or at least suffice the act and want of inclusion and involvement. Unconventional it may seem, but to me, it represents the notion of passing time, and brings back fond memories of juvenile years.
as it seems to me lately, that impulsiveness and recklessness aren't affordable no more.
