traffic signs

i wish
there were traffic signs in my life
telling me
when to stop
danger
go
turn right
left
bumpy road
winding road
no entry

signs
i understand
i see
i know

signs
i break
rushing through life
not slowing down
not stopping
not thinking
not seeing
not learning

crash
boom
bang
i pick myself up
broken
not dead
patched
not healed

just wishing
now more than ever
there were
traffic signs
in my
life
