Street Poetry
Take the words out of the books
Strip them from the page
Free them like a kite
Post them in the sky
Like starlight
Set the verses free
Let them roam on plains
Paste them on billboards
Carve them on walls
Spray them on railway carriages
Project the stanzas onto clouds
Write the lines on lines
Couple couplets onto grand prix cars
Wreathe the smoke in spoken
