Caren Krutsinger Poet Concrete

Subconscious Saves You Once Again

Assertive Letters
		                    An Instant Recognition.   
                                  White border, white letters.
	                     Red sign on a tall unnatural pole.
                        In charge of keeping us safe, unrecognized.
                             Brain applies feet before you realize
                                    You are slowing down for a 
                                            Concrete stop.
                                               On Auto
                                                Pilot, No
                                                Idea You
                                                Were 
                                                Paying
                                               Attention
                                               Because 
                                                 You
                                               Weren’t.
                                               I have saved
                                               Your life once
                                               Again.  And
                                               The lives of
                                                Others.
