Many subway cars in New York City have been spray-painted by vandals



It's unnatural to man
to go down among the dead
in the light of lost worlds. In the
darkness


of lost words
the handwriting on the wall says
all things to all people. And thereby

all people are given to understand
who have gone down among the dead
in the cold light of indecipherable words,

messages.
