she doesn't believe in posting signs


she doesn't believe in posting signs,
she says it's her philosophy and there's no asking why,
there would be no answer.
she votes, she'll sign a ballot initiative but no signs please.
everyone else will have to step up for a good cause.
the title of the book I'm reading is this changes everything,
that no one stands up, we board airplanes and drive cars
that spew emissions, our heads down, averting our
gaze so we won't see the glaciers melting or get
more dust in our eyes from the Sahara desert lifting
into the skies,
we won't even post signs to save our neighborhood
somehow I find that sad.
