POEM: Ode To The A Space And/In Time Memorial

Ode To The A Space And/In Time Memorial

It’s a tall flagpole
in a well-kept field; no flags.
On each side of the base, a plaque:
a peace sign, the infinity symbol,
others I don’t recognize.
I posed there thinking
I was on the site of Woodstock,
flashing the V in a monochrome selfie.
I was off by 3 miles,
but in planetary terms
that’s still pretty close.
“Yes to more peace in the world,”
texted a friend.
And better signage.
