rusty nails

We pass this pole as we head off on our route; our walking loop through distant neighborhoods. It is studded with staples and rusty nails.
Garage sales and open houses have been advertised here.
Lost cats and dogs lamented.
Posters and balloons have probably had their day here too.
The pole is looking pretty battered now and weathered.
But people know where to look.
They aren't bothered by the rust.
It's all about the message.
