The Intersection

Swirling leaves

on a dark

street.

Fast cars

whiz by.

Headlights

dance

as pupils

widen.

I sit at

the red light

waiting

to go.

My body

a vehicle

inside a vehicle.

My mind

wanders

as the song

playing on

the radio

evokes

a memory.

I travel back

as the

light turns

green.

My body

a vehicle

within a

vehicle

moves forward.

A string

of time

folds and

unfolds

as internal

and

external

intersect.
