This is an ongoing series that began sometime in late 2012. Inspired by walking downtown Los Angeles, where glitter meets gutter, dreams fall away, grime and graffiti become the streets, and time moves terribly slow. where are we going? so busy, so important.
My poet friend, Jack Crimmins says it better…..
Scratch Metal/ L.A. Graffiti
men scar the world with knives
scratch metal down to new vision
graffiti the street until the street is new
crossing the danger
dead men crossing
men cross over into spirit
alive to knives
to metal ways
this earth, this time, this now.
