Red Light

Ominously yellow
Tranquility shatters
With its explosion
A hanging threat
Against my spirit

Energy saturates
My body
Excitement builds
A dash for
The intersection

The engine races
Spurred by my
Heavy heel
Flight begins
Stampeding forward

Yellow changes
Danger Red
Breathless now
I speed underneath

An alien horn sounds
But safety once again
Restores my judgement
