Traveling the highway late at night
lights glow across the road
traffic signals, green, yellow, red
emergency sirens
scream past with flashing crimson
blinks yellow warns of pot hole
toward the left shoulder
an irregular scarlet at the intersection ahead
ribbons of headlights weave
through the asphalt
tail lights mark the road
for me to follow
Porch light on
after midnight lights glow across the road
traffic signals, green, yellow, red
emergency sirens
scream past with flashing crimson
blinks yellow warns of pot hole
toward the left shoulder
an irregular scarlet at the intersection ahead
ribbons of headlights weave
through the asphalt
tail lights mark the road
for me to follow
Porch light on
welcome home
turn off lights
and go to bed.
