Stuck In the Road

Somehow I got stuck in the road,
on the yellow dotted line,
each way was the same length,
mechanical monsters zipping by both sides,
so I go straight along the line,
"Go, cross the road H.C.!" someone says,
but that is not my name,
no further can I go for someone is ahead,
turning back is now full as well,
all of us stuck in the middle of the road,
then someone shoved me out of line
into a shiny metallic beast,
forever will I lie stretched out on the cold highway,
freshly paved, may I add
