Stalemate

Today in Idaho
Of all places
I saw the Statue of Liberty
Trying to get my attention
At an intersection and
Offering to do some work
On my behalf

She waved her sign
And smiled for passing cars
While the other hand
Held a vanilla ice cream cone

On the heels of
A state of the union address
Where half the room
Turned to stone
Like victims of the
Gorgon’s gaze
It seemed like
An omen
A prognostication
Something imperative
But I could not determine
What any of it meant

Felt like a mixed signal
At best
And as I drove off
I watched that symbol
Turned saleswoman
Get smaller and smaller
In my mirror
Until she may as well
Have never existed at all

Did you see my AET thread about these people?

It's a co-incidence that you'd write about that Statue of Liberty lady since we've been talking about these costumed salespeople recently.

Oh. I haven't looked over in the AET yet today so I didn't notice. :oops:

maybe the statue of liberty lady with the ice cream means that you should get some French Vanilla ice cream at the store today. being that we got the statue from France and all. okay, sorry for my immaturity. I will leave now.
