The old woman stops, frowning
down barren alleyways.
INTERSECTIONS I
Caution!
Take care as you drive through the intersections
Oncoming traffic may not see you
Any inattention could cause accidents and injury
Especially on these little-used paths
Drivers might not have any idea
We are here
I look before crossing.
I was presumed to be a man on my first day
It is better
Than the alternative
Safer
For us whose lives are so abbreviated
By violence
Collisions
Traffic
