There were some poems on placards on the transit system when I live in San Francisco, but that was some kind of city art project I think. I can't recall any others except the ones you mentioned -- and I think the ones you mentioned were actually done with good intentions and somewhat quality execution (others may rightfully disagree). Both of the ones you mention I think were done well aftet his death and both poems may well have been edited -- I can't recall at the moment.

couple of years ago, BMW planned to use a poem by him in a clip, but - to my knowledge - it didn't happen.
