Graffiti:
The self is a sinister work
of architecture full of hidden
chambers. These are places
uncharted and may
house monsters.
Hidden space:
There is an empty pool,
an unfinished onramp,
an old newspaper stand,
a parking lot. There is
a dark garage,
a trash filled alley,
a mound of dirt
on an abandoned lot.
There is a burned house,
an inaccessible rooftop,
a road no one uses,
the construction site on
a Sunday. There is
the neglected front lawn,
the unrented apartment,
the gas station at 3 am,
the freeway at 4 am,
a long tunnel. There is
the perpetually unfinished tower,
the solitary square of undeveloped
land, the courtyard with a dry
fountain. There is
dead space.
