Intersection
o

At the corner

not in the center he stands.

acting like a fool

he waves, he shouts, he mimics
o

He diverts the stream of traffic:

waves it through or brings it to a stop.
o

How fast he talks

He speaks a language

that I do not know

What does he say?

What a talent!
o

Or is it either

This first, then that.

Either green or red

first stop then go.
o

But since the signs are on a junction

-one signal does not cancel the other-

it is also and

and all at once.
o

I stop for a red light

I see the stream of traffic.

The light sees me

I see, I am seen simultaneously.
