Traffic Lights at 3 AM

fulfill their duties still

reflect red / then green

in the puddles in the

empty street

it is a dewy morning 

one wonders if there will be rain

I run my hands under

the automatic faucet

but no water comes down

am I a ghost to you

I am here and I am changing for you

traffic light goes red

and a drunk stumbles

through the crosswalk

without a walk sign
