Stopping at a Red Light at 2:00 in the Morning with No One Around
"Stopping at a Red Light at 2:00 in the Morning with No One Around"
My poem "Stopping at a Red Light at 2:00 in the Morning with No One Around" was published in the second issue of the Irish journal Beir Bua.
The poem describes a moment waiting at a red light as I obeyed the law and waited for the light to change instead of just going on through. I turned it into a bit of a hallucinatory fantasy.
When it actually happened, I felt good obeying the law when I did not have to. I just wanted to be a good citizen. I appreciate that more as I grow older.
Beir Bua is a journal for experimental writing. The Irish word "Beir" means "bring," and the word "Bua" means Victory, talent, or virtue.
