Symbolic Transit

waiting

waiting for the first
to make a move

to type the words
mouths can't speak

waiting for nuance
in expression, tone

to signal the light
make it yellow, red

waiting in silence
for the collision

to blow this candle
end the green light

waiting to move
beyond white lines




Coling anda Coke.

Symbols of our Transportation

Imagine:

intersecting roads
traffic stopped in all directions
all the lights are green
All I see is green
green light
yet
but
however

No one moves

no pedestrians walk
no cars slowly rolling in anticipation
even on my bike, my breath is not held

Are we blind? can we not see the colour,
the position,
the space?

Motionless we lie
waiting
