we’ve seen words  
various, common and different 
fingered on dust;  
words you can wipe away 
 
 
 
I’ve seen often enough,  
for example,  
on a teacher’s dusty car at the school car park:  
Wash me!  
 
 
 
or cheeky words written  
on a dusty street window:  
Peep in!  
 
 
 
and this morning, I saw one 
on the back of a van before me:  
I’m happy. Are you happy?
