at the red lights
cars stop
automatically
it is a green light
for the limping humanity to flood the roads
huddled up moving on the zebra lines
from there a few zombie eyes
stray and pierce the shut windows
of Rolls Royce, Ford, Fiat and Toyota
with their threatening beams
some of them
in drunken fit
use those few seconds
to x-ray us
inside out
to bare us from within
and without
with their eyes
– just their eyes.
