I saw this sign on a walk, and...
Curved Ahead
When the street sign says
there are curves ahead,
do not balk or turn your back
like an eye that's blind
or a watch out of time.
Shiver if it's necessary,
but then get back behind
the wheel that turns
where you take it.
Salut with respect,
tip your hat like you've
finished the last show,
closing night
when you're exhausted
but grateful
that there were people
to watch
and applaud
who know
nothing about
your yellow warnings and black zigzag lines,
but
thankful that by watching you
for a little bit,
they were able to forget
their own.
