Waiting at the traffic lights
hoping for the red
that means you don't have to deal with the pedal that's under your foot.
You can wait patiently
as long as it takes
to see it was all a waste,
just as you imagined.
But whilst an amber glow stares you in the face
the only real thing you know is that you've stopped or started the race.
The cat might be alive, you know,
and what will you do then?
You didn't expect to see green
you didn't expect to go
part of you really wants it
but you can't be seen to, though.
Heart going faster than the second hand on your watch
your watch just stops
your heart beat hops
you make a move
and chance it
heart now dancing...
afterall -
it's orange,
you can go!
GO!
