Bit of scribble On some Warehouse wall Or some subway entrance. Matchstick figure Heart pierced by arrow, Scratch of a meter maid On a parked hearse. CRAZY CHARLIE in red spraypaint Crowding for warmth With other unknown divinities In an underpass at night." - Tattooed City by Charles Simic Here's the deal: Simic took something common, irritating, sometimes vulgar, and usually ignored and turned it into this poem.
