Street Artist

[Buck]

Confident pastels
attack
virgin asphalt.

A hopeful jar
lingers
near the canvas,
expecting
pocket change,
rarely gaining
satisfaction.

Intrigued children
tug
elders’ coattails,
attempting to
procure interest
for their latest
amusement.

Never finished,
the vibrant
patch of pavement
bleeds
with the passion
of Anonymous.

Original Version

Confident pastels
attack
virgin asphalt.

A hopeful jar
waits
near the canvas,
expecting
pocket change,
rarely gaining
satisfaction.

Intrigued children
tug
parents’ coattails,
attempting
to elicit interest
for their newfound
amusement.

Never finished, the
now colorful
patch of pavement
bleeds
with the passion
of its artist.
