55 – The Artist

He does it late at night
when it’s hard to tell if the colors are right
spraying on the sides of walls.
If they caught him
they’d make him wash it off
and no one much would see his skill.
Tomorrow this train will roll
and show his name
to the entire country
if he doesn’t get caught.
