Someone in our neighbourhood has taken to placing tiny, Canadian flags on toothpicks, in the dog poop that has been left on the public grass. Little patriotic piles of shit litter the lawns. The flags are tremendously neat and the detail in the placement is more unsettling than not – considering the required proximity and care needed to anchor them into the discarded turd cakes.
Is it art, perhaps a statement about decorating waste?
Is it a dialogue about poop patriotism?
Someone staking claim to these shit heaps, a personal mini mountain to be triumphed and tagged?
Moon landing on a turd.
Not picking up after your pet is antisocial and foul. Nobody likes it.
But the fact that this area of uncollected dog shyte makes someone so very angry, that they will take the time to meticulously anchor, our poor unsuspecting maple leaf pride into it, makes me feel deep concern for society.
Pick up after your pet, people.
But more importantly, don’t decorate poop, people.
That is just not right.
