For Which It Stands

When the fence was finished
and properly white washed 
he wrote TRUTH
all in large block white.
on his side 
that faced the street.
 
The next day, his neighbor
of many years, 
of which he knew 
only through casual hellos, 
painted (in bleeding red) 
TREASON on his.   

 “God Save America,” the first thought ,
“from this POS” as he drove  his  EV to work,
content knowing he had his neighbor all figured out.
The neighbor thought the same as he passed him
in his POS  Ford— the one he inherited from his father-
the one with the  fender cracks held  together 
with $ store American. flag  bumper stickers.
