Is a set of owner's instructions,
And since I can only read them
In a mirror,
I wondered if Leonardo wrote them.
I've also seen strange dotted lines
That show sometimes,
And others not,
And once I thought I saw the words,
"Do not fill past here."
And I don't know if anyone else
Has ever noticed them, but you.
No one bothered to read them.
And maybe I shouldn't have either,
For they referred me to an artist signature
Scrawled across my heel,
(It wasn't Leonardo.)
And just below it
An expiration date
That's already passed.
