Flashing Lights
By Brandon Palzkill
Lights explode around me…
frantic bursts
of red and white;
imposing; impressing upon;
beckoning me
to stop and take heed.
Signifying danger,
cautioning wariness;
lives hang in the balance
and disaster may abound,
should I fail to acquiesce
to their dire
warnings.
I slow down; stop;
take a moment,
look around;
choose my next move
delicately;
finally to go on ahead,
taking it slow...
sidestepping catastrophe.
At least they are not red and blue pulling you over.
