Nina Loves Lefty

In bright red paint, beneath my feet,
Was a declaration, short and sweet:
Nina Loves Lefty! but with a heart
Instead of “Loves,” so, urban art.

That’s how graffiti used to be,
Touting one’s identity
Or that of someone much adored
Without a message untoward.

The great art of graffiti. Sometimes I wonder if graffiti is really the tattoos that slipped off people's arms.
