Concrete and steel bolts
Grass has a mind of its own
Life cannot be stopped

Black bench and shadow
Early morning abstraction
What might it all mean

Stickers and rust sit behind
Street composition

No parking paint on the street with large rock.
“Reinforced No Parking Zone” — Image by Author

Stone street, white paint, rock
The rock is for emphasis
Drivers pay no heed

Locked gray doors with peeling stickers and pink graffiti.
“Gray Doors, Pink Graffiti” — Image by Author

Mottled gray doorway
Peeling stickers as accent
Pink graffiti wins

Hanging over rusted steel
Red joy on the street
