PAX

The dingy lights of the sign cut through the mist.
The illuminated word was important,
or it must have been.

Important enough for someone
to put it on a sign, and electrify it.

But now half the bulbs are fading.
More than a few letters are dead,
and what was once so important
is now something else.

The letters still alive are three
P, A, X. In that order.

And we can only hope
those three stay alive
