Be a Thinker Use Your Blinker

You saw me riding my bike 
as I came to the cross walk 
you were there again 
admiring the flowers 
in my basket I chimed
 
my bell as the little man 
legs started to move 
inside the box flashing 
light began blinking 
on the street pole
 
I noticed you again 
as I began to cross instantly 
you pulled out no signal 
confusing traffic sirens glared 
my inner ear blood stained
 
my helmet a truck driver yell 
that driver never turned 
on a signal how was I
too know she'd pull out 
eyes sinking mind thinking

A good title for your warning to those that refuse to think and remember to let it blink. I liked it, Yolanda :-)
