Intersection (Free verse) by D. $ Fontera
Stop
To peer at the greying,
Stolid faces
Hand-baskets scooting
In rows to carry them away
To their own personal hells
Exhaust saturating senses
Senses of want; of color
It is all apparent
Mothers lean out of windows
To catch the world
In fleeting pieces
Boys young and younger
Dreaming to be heroes,
Lovers, and rebels
The chance that might
Be, vanished as the light turns
Red to green and back again
