Sirens and Signals

The fire alarm goes
off and all who hear
get to a safe place.
It's the gun shot of a race
about to start.
It is the totaling at the cashiers
drawer while you push your
shopping cart.
It is the policemens' urgency
to arrest crime on the spot.
It's the trains' whistle of
the arrival on the track.
It's the time you need to
spend relaxing to get the
monkey of your back.

Moons and stars told the
wise men of Jesus's arrival.
signals of the "Great Return"

order of men.
Signals of the card players
parnership and gestures
to complete a win.
