Tacky Santa signs and signs that say "No".

We are such incomplete creatures!
We want to be seen next to the famous painting,
the monument, the landmark, the celebrity, the president.
We want to be seen on national TV,
even a humiliating episode
on America’s Funniest Home Videos
or America’s Most Wanted.
Let us be seen next to you, Lord,
arm in arm, both of us smiling,
best of friends.
