road side stand

saw a sign that read

“EAT FRUIT FOR JOY”

signs

symbols

wonders

i realized these are the impressions

that mark me on every trip

it’s the signs I look to as

the land changes around them

overthrown by our oppressive

need for convenience

just one more strip mall please

in place of these green fields

shimmering like gold in

late afternoon sun
