Taking on Water: Pinewood Pharmaceuticals

I was told that the graffiti was allowed to propagate
As part of an unspoken armistice
Between the disaffected and the simply affected
The churches and government buildings were left alone
But all other walls and public areas were fair game
Most of the content was territorial blather
Or support for the latest (corporate-sponsored) rebellious band
But in the midst of the multiple paint layers and glued-on flyers
On the wall lining the south side of Ballymount Avenue
Was a one-and-a-half foot diameter sphincter
Not really an anus
But certainly an alimentary valve of sorts
Above the sphincter was a sign with a clipart graphic
Of a woman pushing her newborn into the wall
The words above the clipart read:
Safe Baby Dropoff
