Impatient
Feet on the pavement,
Minding the cracks and red
and black etched
Profanity.

Four-way intersection,
Waiting for the signal of a man
Running to appear on the lamp-post across the street,
Suggesting that I cross in ten seconds;
Look both ways.

Damaged blinds
Hung over a top-floor window,
Cheap white string suspends its pieces,
Worn down from years of abuse;
Lopsided.

Waiting for the signal of a man
Worn down from years of abuse,
Hung over a top-floor window,
Look both ways.
