Monday Morning Poem by The Pedestrian

'ecmk'

spray-painted
in big, white letters
on the backyard fence

I was here

when the fence was installed
just recently (in oldman time)
And I marveled
at what a nice job they did
replacing the old one which,
I'm pretty sure, the termites were finished eating

And the installers (partners)
painted it blue-gray
or gray-blue
depending on the weather

And it was really nice
It still is

But some organization calling itself 'ecmk'
thought it needed more
or maybe they wished to claim it
or the area
or something...

And it's just a fence
and I'm just a renter

It's okay 'ecmk' guys

I'm just sorry you couldn't
dig the fence
just for what it was

Yours, the pedestrian
