Random Poem:

Amber Light
rattlesnakes

Standing by the side of the road in bare feet,
 1
Fairlanes and pickup trucks
 2
They stop and they beckon, but I don't get in
 3
Convinced there must be a limousine
 4
 
 
Just around the next corner,
 5
Pulled in at the pit stop
 6
Novelty bumper stickers and a girl behind the counter
 7
Wearing too much eyeliner
 8
 
 
"That'll be three dollars, honey."
 9
A wink and a smile for the millionaire.
 10
He's off to find his fare, and on a road map somewhere
 11
I'll be watching traffic.
 12
