Pointing Nowhere

Signs pointing

to nowhere

and nobody;

useless.

They sit in a clearing

besides the path,

out of place with all of the

trees and grass.

Questions are whispered as

people pass by:

"Who put them there?"

"What are they for?"

"Why are they there?"

But the signs can't talk,

so people leave the oddity

of signs pointing nowhere.

This was taken at the Brickworks in the summer, during some construction. Someone had placed them there, and no one passing by knew why or who.
