Here is a secret;
our lives are ruled by signs
amd shaped by silent laws.
"Reserved Parking" when translated
becomes "You are not Important".
A stop sign, because it is red,
makes you waste gas at 2:00 a.m.
idling your engine while looking
for cars that aren't there.
Here's another secret;
when you know the rules
you can begin to break the rules.
A water bottle snuck into a theatre.
Walking down a train track at night.
Picking a flower from a neighbor's lawn.
Parking in a grocery store lot and
hoofing it to your job a mile away.
Suddenly fences will appear friendlier,
begging you to climb them.
