INN TO LETby *davespertine

Photography / Street

watch where you are going
we have all made that mistake
not so much of not looking where we are going
but of not seeing what we are stepping on
or stepping inn

dogs can't read
they are perhaps dyslexic
and think that 'TO LET'
says 'TOILET'
it's an easy mistake to make
there is no i inn to let

life can be 'SH T' sometimes
be careful what, or who you step on

since the smoking ban
the streets have become an aSH Tray
it's the people, not the dogs
who are astray

life can be a bitch sometimes
you can get fined for dropping your litter
on the streets
and people are having puppies about it

the whole world is mixed up
and they think that putting up a few signs is the answer
especially for the dyslexic anorexic
who can't read the menu
and the fat cat who certainly can
so long as someone else will pay the bill

there is a message on the streets
which is so easy to misread
that we may not even see
until it is too late

so watch out!

Strange, I had a thought about dyslexia being a different memory, from when we used to read in the reverse of how we read now in the Western World...part of a holographic view of the Universe. Nothing is out of place, even our symptoms and maladies are mythologies. But that was a dream.

Excellent image, very dreamlike and mysterious. Great work...

Thanks for a provocative and street-wise savvy prose! I'm watching, now!

very interesting what you say, your dream about dyslexia
we seem to have a philosophy that different is bad, a disadvantage
but there are always advantages in everything.... hard to see sometimes
maybe just that we compensate in a different way

i think the largest disability that society has is the blinkered perspective of the decision makers
who are largely looking at how to exploit people in large numbers
those who are different and don't fit in are a chaos in their equation
something which they can not deal with because they have no control over
