JN Tag

I'm imagining that the letters JN
in the grafitti tag
stand for Justice Now
a new civil rights group,

and that solidarity with the fact
that ANDY AND DIXON ARE GAY
has led this upright group
to tag this proclamation
of sexuality between two men.

But then again
I'm mindful of the religious group
Jesus Nose,
acronym also JN,
who paint long hooked noses on billboards
without explanation.

Jesus Nose.

In this instance,
assuming that Jesus does know,
I can't tell
If hes frowning or filled with joy
at the fact that
ANDY AND DIXON ARE GAY.
