~
stopped at a red light
I navigate random thoughts
such as the politics of things uncertain
occupation
passions
love
~
when the red light changes
an occupation will come and one will go
~
a life will gain new meaning worth waiting for
while inattentive commuters continue to wait
~
a heart burdened will sigh and breathe for the first time
a heart will stop
a heart will fall in love
~
at the red light vaporous thoughts linger
in the glow of brake lights
~
I suppose all drivers eventually stop
and pause – to think
about prolonged uncertainties
and momentary certainties
until the red light changes
