With an Overactive Imagination
Dirty shallow pools of doubt,
Cover weary and bored minds.
Turning from yellow to red,
Traffic signals foretell long unmoving lines.

All day and a full gas tank,
Wasted while the signals decide,
If the green traffic lights work:
Is catching the city bus a better ride?
