meaning

The ‘keep off grass’signs

have exceptions

The wind

Who does not know to read

The axiom

‘barking dogs don’t bite’

Makes sense

If the dog knows it

‘pearl before swine’

Is tragic

If the pearl is egoistic

Nothing makes sense

Except in its context

Mistakes too

Good and bad

Magnified

Because you are trying

To fathom

their meaning

their relevance

isolated in time

meanings have a home

their own

territorial imperative

when you deprive

you take meaning out of meaning
