The Warmth

I'm a sucker,
one of many,
with my eyes open,
one of few.

I travel down the middle road,
I take the turns it takes me into, 
without brakes, without signals,
I take the turns it takes me into.

I can't get ahead of myself,
I can't fall behind.
There are always lights,
some bright, some dim,
dim like me with this pen in my hand.

I follow the lights,
and make my turns.
I hit dark roads,
and have no fear.
