Indian Signs I Have Loved · 15 May 08
Indian sign painters, I love you quite dearly!
The Hands-on paint! The crush of color! Our peeling world!
For there is no party on the Upside! Join me, my people!
The Dolphin Restaurant! The Reshmi Guest House!
Enough with your woodwinds! Silence your car honkings!
In Steely Proclamation of our Finest Juice Location!
In Humble declarations of Occupations!
In Eponymous Hair Salons!
The Paint that Guides the Placing of the Shoe!
The magnifying glass and or mini-stickman in hand, awaiting inspection! The multiple scripts! The weakening Light!
The Unfettered Confidence in Modernity!
The Law Enforcement Papers! The Hip Hop Roots!
The Baba! School! Of Music!
And so!
The GangaFuji Home! The Nrmala Restaurant! The German Bakery! The Yoga (in It’s Homeland)!
The Tigers Most Loquacious and Polite!
The Dropping of the Gerund ‘G’!
The No Kidding!
May your brushes never cease and your stencils never tatter! May your infrequent bursts of plastic usage retain the witty charms of old! May you never ever ever die!
