The Monument

They laughed,
“Ah, the Washington Monument.”
Haemhouts said, “Okay.”

It was understandable.
They had never been
to Washington before;
there was no sign nearby
to identify the monument.

And so
the two tourists found themselves
in the midst of a fresh debate:

Do icons
need signs
announcing what they are?
