from bus windows

from bus windows
spotted with rain long lines
of traffic reaching down the road
with tentacles of dots
attendant taillights
screaming
STOP
in primary red
STOP
but only melting into the gray
STOP
an order given too often
uninflected assuming
obedience
having lost the power of command
having become a mere reminder
fading into rain

yellow is somehow more urgent
CAUTION!
a judgment call

Thanks also. I've posted a couple of pieces in the Writers' Corner at Eps.

And there will be more. There's always more.
