We’re all just Scattered splattered rainbows on Skyscraping Walls. 

That’s some graffiti, the graffiti is the name. 

There’s graffiti with some face paint 
Looking out us all, with eyes on everyone... peeking thru city walls.
A palette of colorful dots mixing with the stucco.
MIssed it, turn arounD. I know it's there for sure, Bucko.
My naME captures my eYe. (peakin thru) There I AM! I see it Now.
Flashback-wards. I'm closer still. In a second's flash it can be gone
But there it is before my eyes my gigantic great BIG sign
In BIG GIANT RAINBOW letters high up in the Sky. Squeezed in Between.
Brick and mortar are its seams and frame. Take-a-left. I see it Now.
I AM everywhere as I meddle through this traffic madness.
Almost missed it but there YoU ARe tiMINg it just RiGht. 
City sounds:  horns cursing, sirens screaming, an overhead plane roars, tires screeching! 

There’re splattered rainbows splattering all over Earth’s walls!

“Are you an Art Meddler?” ARt MEdDler wonders.

Graffiti can be food.  Eye candy for the soul. 
Graffiti can be paint that paints the world with color. 
Graffiti can be playful to keep us young at heart. 
Graffiti can be sprayed to mark your spot.
Graffiti can BE A LIVElihood. Expressing ones meyend freely.
Graffiti can be words, use your words, then act. But always think first that  
Graffiti can be whole universes from a Universe of curves. 
Graffiti can be music to those who cannot hear. 
Graffiti can be poetry that lasts for years and years. 
Graffiti’s on the subway walls where there’re no rainbows cast at all. 

We’re all just splattered rainbows casting shadows on the wall. 

Art is meddling in the arts. 
Art is being there and true. 
Art is doing what art does best 
When Art is really you.
