“Graffiti Train Cars”

Malik Windsor 

Graffiti train cars

Race blurry decorations

Through endless tunnels

Graffiti train cars

Careen past the stained glass art

Layered on white walls

Graffiti train cars

Deliver underground tours

In subway museums

Graffiti train cars

Packed like subterranean

Auditoriums

Graffiti train cars

Littered with masked passengers

Dispersing Lysol

Malik Windsor’s poem, “Seasons in Brooklyn,” is the winner of the Black History Month’s Big Read Contest in Poetry.
