Graffiti's Word

On the wall across the street
a slogan drew her attention
encircled by a well-designed graffiti  
depicting cleverly a certain connectivity
of all the arts
 
“Arts of the world unite
and let us all fit in!”
 
She frowned and sighed disapprovingly.
Reached in her purse, out came her lipstick.
First did her lips – burning red – and crossed the street.
There, under the slogan, hand and lipstick drew letters:
 
“Free the words from escorting guards…”
 
Hand and lipstick suspended for a moment
A satisfied smile led them to the task’s completion:
 
“A Word Says More Than A Thousand Pictures!”
 
Lipstick back in purse, turned her back to the wall
back she crossed to the other side
as a couple of curious eyes zoomed in the Word...
