I stand by the road
Cars rushing all around me
Car horns mixed with human noise
Traffic engulfing my ears

I wait patiently for the lights to turn from green to red
for the little man to appear
watching the traffic pass me by

Sometimes it rocks me
most of the time it captivates me

I am always surprised to see my reflection in the windows of the cars that race by me

Assuring me that I exist
even if I don’t see myself sometimes
