"do you write?" a look of complete incomprehension must have crossed my face. "do you paint," he clarified, with a hint of exasperation. "uh, no. i'm just taking pictures...." the youth gestured up the tracks, to a spot away from the view of surface roads, where the tracks met a hill and continued on through a tunnel. "there's a lot of cool shit up there. go check it out. you'll like it." "thanks," i replied. i trudged along the tracks towards this supposed treasure trove of grafitti art, knowing that he was really just trying to ensure that i wouldn't follow his crew to their painting site. but i wasn't upset for long, because he didn't lie. there were wonderous works & spellbinding sights ahead, under the overpass, hidden away where only the CalTrain commuters & homeless wanderers would see them.
