Photo Challenge #4/It's a Trick!

If you're walking around our neighborhood and really want to learn the first-person plural imperative form of the verb "to be," look down.



(Photo Challenge #4: name the guy who seems to be saying, "let's be subversive!")

I'm pretty sure this graffiti/street art/propaganda is a trick. If someone tells you to be subversive, and if you do something "subversive," then you're subordinating yourself/conforming to that someone's demands. On the other hand, if someone tells you to be subversive, the truly subversive thing to do is to ignore that order completely.

So when Panda and I walk over this stenciled command every morning, we do the subversive thing: we keep on walking.
