Across the Lane
There was no crosswalk here
yet crossed I nonetheless.
And with just mild fear,
I ran across the lane.
The light had took too long.
The button stayed depressed.
A street sign said 'twas wrong
to run across the lane.
But I cut across the street
and then I cut again.
knowing not where I'd be,
I ran across the lane.
Until the corners I had cut
all caught up with my feet,
and then at last I was resigned
to just walk down the street.
