Music Man

Entertainment by a graffiti sax player at a train station.

Artist Unknown — Photo by the author

Music man,
silent saxophone player
a train station wall paint layer.

Graffiti art,
standing with a crutch
how many passers-by did you touch?

Saxman, what’s your story?
I liked to look at your glory.
Your glowing-grey mysterious glee
Wondering who created your plea?

Pleasure, you brought me
waiting for a train cause I could see,
your silent-loud passionate notes
vibrating in the electric quiet air.

Whitewashed, you are no more.
Your silent notes and artistic beauty are erased, forever.
You live in this photo memory captured on a brightened grey day.
I miss your entertainment — music man.

I was tagged by CDTPPW and LizBitMac to participate in a writing prompt challenge by Warren "Storyteller" Brown to write a poem, story, or article on “Graffiti.” You can read their creative and thought-provoking poems at the end of this post.
