imagine the pointless signs

In the backyard
the trash cans are still
but the "Beware of The Dog"
sign rattles in the wind.

I need to replace that sign.
"Beware of the Cat"
or
"Beware of the moody
drunk."
would suit this household
better.

Or possibly,
a "Leave Me The Fuck Alone,"
sign would be even better.
Or maybe even a "Fuck Off"
sign might fit the picture.

Or maybe a "Can I borrow 5 bucks?"
sign
or "Yo, you gotta an extra cigarette?"
sign
or "Do you wanna clean my kitchen?"
sign,
maybe.

All the signs will rattle against the fence
in the wind and get hit by falling acorns
and nobody will notice
the signs as they walk down the alley
with thier heads down

So its pointless,
like all my requests
through the signs
that no one will see
and that will never
exist.
