You can’t trust everything you see…
Signposts appear at irregular intervals
suggesting turns
but failing to commit
Old signposts referenced
fire and steel, ink in the well
then disappeared in the rear-view mirror
Some signposts change without warning
and not the slightest concern
ever in love with tragedy and mystery
The newer signposts are not to be trusted
they use lights to frequently lie
about what lies ahead
At best, they’re often late
then replace the old messages
and pretend they never existed
Signposts should be covered up
with paint or tarp
or chopped up and recycled for scrap
There’s always another way
