The Street

Poem

By K.A. SmithPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

Green lights?

Today,
The green traffic light,
Out.
That looks like Oscar the grouch
On Sesame Street
Who wears a garbage can
Uncleaned... green lights?
Need to clean clean
Them with hoses,
Which is also green.

At least wash the can's
Top every week,
Two weeks, a month out,
Or replace like
Like Oscar the grouch.
A green, green, green
Traffic light, imagined.
