Traffic Splitter

Grant Hope #84

In the middle of the road traffic doesn’t roam
it’s a pedestrian’s partway safe zone

Here stands a woman with backpack in tow
hiking through a city’s pass
tall buildings
busy cars
split to the sides
because where this lass goes
her time waits in bated breath

Hair in the wind
smiling from cheek to cheek
down the lines of her chin
each step full of confidence as the last
in this metropolis of millions at a time
when she walks forward
her world spins on the edge of a dime
