A Poem Encounter

This was on  a power pole in Northwest:

When I google "13th head prose and poetry" this is the first link.  When I google phantom billstickers ltd I found that they are a New Zeland firm that specializes "in the production and placement of street posters, shop posters & flyers (retail), programs, brochures, postcards & handbills promoting music, arts, events and street culture."  The web site goes on to explain that they have offices on Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, & Dunedin.  So how the heck did this get put up in Portland?

Ah-hah!  A visit to the site's blog leads to this entry about a "poster run" in Seattle and Portland which happened in October.  There are multiple blog entries on poster runs to different American cities, so this is apparently something the company does.  The blog entry is worth reading, though the author mostly talks about Seattle.

What a fun thing to discover.  Thanks phantom billstickers!
