the green light

you can't go
until you see it.
oh sure, a yellow
flashing might
permit a kiss,
but you are in
risk of the light
going red in mid
move towards
lips. don't even
try the red.
you'll hear the
sirens, you'll
pay a fine, it
will set back
on points. you
might even get a
slap. the light
has to be
green. you have
to keep your foot
on the brake,
hands on the wheel,
and be patient.
and when it's
your turn, she'll
go green and there
will be no mistake
about it as your
foot hits the
pedal and you take
the open road.
