Street Signs

One plus one equals one
This maths you must shun
Not every seed grows
But, not everyone knows.

The signs you must read
There are stars, and satellites led
By man’s inquisitive mind
The lights are all defined.

Not every post is a mail
For your mind, find bail
Save yourself the trouble
Of thinking about the rubble.

Stay in line or fall out of place
The race is not defined by pace
The first to cross always wins
Save the strings for the violins.
