Painted Words
by Michael Romani

An outside walk through typography
Welcome to the streets of New York City
A city of signs plentiful and adjusted
Neon and offset messages awkwardly entrusted
In a painting of a myriad of words
Until our human resistance is blurred

Stumbling though Madison Avenue's working daze
In which life's ups and downs are and amaze
Lost in a constant sense of mild interruption
Within a much needed sense of disruption
Sets of eyes combine to see and rearrange
In a constant contrast of similar and strange

Announced to the world with a pop so proud
Dressed in the saturation of New York City loud
Bringing a welter of weight filled with power
To a world of blasé desiccation felt by the browser
Given to choices that distinguish by a typeface
Each movement and moment of sensibility put into place
