Walked out earlier this afternoon while baby brother was working on the car, looked out to the south of the yard and found a new green street sign strapped around the streetlight post. Wait. What?! Looked to the original location of the street sign on a dedicated pole at the east end of the yard and the original black sign was gone, with just the pole standing, dead without its head on, a ghost.
A shock.
A disappointment.
It's been there all my life and now no more. Had I known the city was to replace it I would have asked the workers to hand it over to put it on my bedroom wall. They're just gonna trash the sign anyways.
It was there yesterday.
And that green is garish.
