The Sad Stoplight


The Sad Stoplight

Look at this stoplight...
just humor me, please.
It seems there’s a face
in the dead LEDs.

Is that a smile I see?
No, I think it’s a frown.
Under one of its eyes
there’s a tear running down.

Why are you sad, stoplight?
Tell us of your pain.
Do you feel alone?
Is your life mundane?

Bobbing on that wire
through the rain and snow.
Cycling through your colors--
that’s all you’ll ever know.

Watching as cars go by,
feeling so bored and stuck.
I guess being a stoplight
would definitely suck.

Now I want to cry, too.
Who would’ve had the notion
that a simple stoplight
could show such emotion?

Mega Man Lemons
