Old parking spot

Follow the sign

The signs are everywhere. Even here, in the dusty corners of an elementary school parking lot, baking under the sun for as long as the place has been here.

No one leans in to catch the subtle streams of rust below the corroded screw, the hairline cracks in the paint, the berries growing defiantly through the twisted chain link fence.

It’s all invisible. In plain sight.

Which makes me fear the day when someone decides the cracks and the rust need to be painted over, and the berries need to go.

Because the scars we pick up along the way tell stories that don’t deserve to be erased.
