Graffito (Singular)

For a good time call...
Novellia Primigenia of Nuceria
(Pompei, before the eruption).

Am I an art crime
or
just the writing on the wall?
I have been:
scribbled,
sprayed,
scratched,
painted,
stenciled,
and
etched
from Egyptian times to
Hip Hop Culture.
I entertain, communicate,
frustrate anger and annoy
I am urban message and medium.
anti-government slogan
pro this or anti that

"You don't have to love your
government to love your country."

then...
painted over
suffocated
lost
only to re-emerge
in another form
never forgotten
always evolving
living on
proclaiming the beauty
and skills of
Novellia Primigenia of Nuceria.

A Walking Tour of Prague

A Walking Tour of Prague

A long drive through
narrow rural lanes
bordered by ripening
vineyards,
closer to Vienna the
family name was evident
on signs, taverns, streets,
and squares.
History here lost in the
years after the war.

Walking the old town square
of Prague over the martyr's
crosses embedded in the brick
defined by the deep shadows
cast by the Gothic spires of the
Tyn Church we absorbed history.

Elegant blue glass vases stately in
shop windows look out on a flute
player, an exotic woman suspended
in the air, a juggler, performers...
Where
Storm Troopers once marched.
(12 000 graves in the Jewish Quarter)
Where civilians cast out Russians.
Where freedom finally came home.

Brides and smiling grooms
photographed together on
The ancient Charles Bridge.
A musician plays Norwegian Wood
on wine glasses to strolling
tourists.

On passed the Wenceslas Square
and Baroque houses across the
Vitava River
we find a puppet shop .
The witch catches our eye.
Today, the the evil is gone.
