Run Guy, Run

The light is about to change guy,

you better get running.
Look, it’s turning yellow,
hurry up your little man
legs.

The cars are waiting,

engines rumbling as
you trudge sadly
through the crosswalk.
Run Guy, Run.

You’re holding up

everyone’s lives
with your slow pace
as the light changes.

Almost to the curb guy,

you’re almost there,
just one more step and
life can go on.

I should stop looking

out my window.
