The After Party

the stop line is invisible
but if i make a serious effort,
i can see the blurry outlines of the stoplight
red, yellow and green
green being on top,
yellow in the middle,
and red on bottom
or is it vice versa?
i can’t tell
(it’s a relief i’m not colorblind)
((holy moly why am i driving?))
i’ll tell you—
—it’s late and i’m crying
nobody can see me like this
it’s a real shame i didn’t think ahead
because now i can hear a semi-truck
hurtling my way
