Intersection
|
|
At the corner
|
|
not in the center he stands.
|
|
acting like a fool
|
|
he waves, he shouts, he mimics
|
|
|
He diverts the stream of traffic:
|
|
waves it through or brings it to a stop.
|
|
|
|
How fast he talks
|
|
He speaks a language
|
|
that I do not know
|
|
What does he say?
|
|
What a talent!
|
|
|
Or is it either
|
|
This first, then that.
|
|
Either green or red
|
|
first stop then go.
|
|
|
But since the signs are on a junction
|
|
-one signal does not cancel the other-
|
|
it is also and
|
|
and all at once.
|
|
|
I stop for a red light
|
|
I see the stream of traffic.
|
|
The light sees me
|
|
I see, I am seen simultaneously.
