Faulty Exegesis

Without a map, the next best thing when evening driving is to learn fast
how to read signs, and even here critical thinking is key or be misled

by false and make-shift signs some self-imposed authority,
put up for his convenience. It can distract you

like a high beam from an approaching car or much worse
misread a Right-Turn traffic sign on the asphalt road,

where the next thing you see is a policeman's hand waving,
his stern look, a fair warning of an approaching discourse

of a supposed error starting with definitions, then exegesis,
to etymology of words, and its consequences.
