End Construction by David Fischer
Copyright (C) 1999 David Fischer


I saw a man
standing by the side 
of the road
with a sign that said
END CONSTRUCTION
he was tall and thin,
and made out of wood.

I asked him about his life,
He said nothing.
I asked him about his fight,
He said nothing.
I asked him about the world,
He said nothing.

I found great meaning in this,
And walked away.
