Affinia Manhattan, Room 1418, New York, New York
On April 11th, a 70-year-old man from Chestertown, a town near me in the Adirondacks, was arrested for writing graffiti on an overpass on Route 9L. (I don't even know where Route 9L--one of the many Routes 9--is.)
Kenneth C. Hopper spraypainted the word "rowlow" onto the Warren County Bike Trail overpass just before 3 p.m. Hopper, who is a doctor of medicine, said that he thought the word was "intriguing" but didn't know what it meant.
Although we might question the judgment of this man, he is a friend to visual poets for his graffiti art and a friend to pwoermdists for his pwoermd. I wonder who told him it was International Pwoermd Writing Month.

a great story, thanx for sharing it.
of special interest is that he didn't offer a definition for the word.
& yes, the word does sound good, it can have multiple meanings.
i'm always amazed at the varying manners in which people bring forth their intrinic lives out into the extrinic world.
K.C. Hopper illustrates for us the magnetic charm of words, even when we don't know exactly what they mean...
