April 26 is "Poem in Your Pocket Day" for 2018
This poem is in my pocket!
The Great Figure by William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)
Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
firetruck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city.

I recently made this work based on this poem, that I call 'Hash Art', whose letters and numbers are the MD5 hash code (A9F49188FA5BF45432EC51732F2C32B2) (32 characters mapped to 32 words). https://barryartschicago.blogspot.com/2018/03/through-dark-city-2018.html
