the original meaning lost to time, today we can make one up
the words that we use can lose all meaning when we’re trying to be cute
when there is a sign that doesn’t mean what it says we should ignore it
sometimes the meaning doesn’t matter: the message comes through loud and clear
if what’s being said is not clear, the message might not be meant for me
based on perspective something said can take on a different meaning
when the sign says Park i expect a place to play that’s not what i get
we need to listen because what we say might not be what’s understood
sometimes i wonder if markings like these are done just to make us think
a light can welcome or warn against loitering which, can be unclear
