Words On Dusty Surfaces Poem by Raj Arumugam

Words On Dusty Surfaces

Rating: 3.5


we’ve seen words
various, common and different
fingered on dust;
words you can wipe away



I’ve seen often enough,
for example,
on a teacher’s dusty car at the school car park:
Wash me!



or cheeky words written
on a dusty street window:
Peep in!



and this morning, I saw one
on the back of a van before me:
I’m happy. Are you happy?

I love it when people wear their hearts on their sleeve. Our vehicles are just another body for us; so it is no wonder they become message boards, eh? The first verse is all genius.

very nice something we can all relate to seeing those signs written in dirty areas wriiten by fingers, never seen one that says be happy though, so simple yet so meaningful, very nice :)
