In a museum, right there on the wall,
The name of
the artwork’s displayed,
Along with
the artist and elements used
And the date
it was painted or made.
Yet some
institutions don’t follow the script
And there
are no labels or signs.
Instead,
there are folders you pluck from a pile
For the info
most signage defines.
It’s
annoying to me, extra work, if you will,
Matching
outlines and numbers to where
On the wall every
gallery work has been hung,
For a plaque
would be better off there.
Some museums
are known for exhibits so dense
There is not
enough room for a card,
But the one
I just came from is spacious and spare,
So some
signage would not have been hard.
