Post No Handbills

I called this piece

Post No Handbills.

I've seen signs that say something similar

posted on subway walls, on sides of buildings,

on upright surfaces like telephone poles or fences.

Those signs are most often accompanied

by posters and handbills galore.

One memorable place

that images on top of images had collected,

some ripped back in places

until there was a glorious collage

saluting commercial and protest art,

was on the wall of London's Tube.

I stopped to take a photo

of one enticing spontaneous collage. . . 

much to the embarrassment of my son,

who thought I was crazy for taking a pic

of a dirty wall in the Underground.

Some Moms are like that.

Underground art.
