MATTER-OF-FACTLY AT THE STOP LIGHT

SOME DAYS,

today for instance,

I drive

around my town

           

            stopping at lights

                                    hoping

                                    some

                                    one

will see (and read)

                                    the sticker

                                    on my rear

                                    window

           

            saying,

                                    CLOSE THE CAMPS

and when I drive away

            as the light

                                    turns

           

                                    GREEN

the camps,

                                    will

                                    be

                                    CLOSED
