We saw this sign on the way to a friend’s party. I imagine a large truck looming, backing up, in this arrow’s shaky past. Thought the remnant deserved a photo.

proceed this way please
signs, telegraph messages
through a zig zag world

¿Un desvío pequeño por aquí?
Vimos este rótulo en camino a la fiesta de un amigo. Imagino un pasado donde un camión grande y torpe retrocede hacia la flecha trémula. Pensé que la prueba merecía una foto.
sigan la flecha
nos proclama el rótulo en
mundo de quingos

Thanks, Debbie. Yes, it’s like a sign in a Road Runner cartoon with a 100 m drop off on the side.

Yes, in practice, I return to snap the photos of surprising sights whenever I can. 🙂 I wonder if the truck came out without a scratch in this encounter?

The zig-zag nature of this sign definitely expresses the perennial detour nature of life very well, Rebecca. As does your haiku!
