Yellow, I Am

in taxi cabs carrying strangers to distant places,

in broken lines of beaten asphalt,

in poles erected from concrete and

signs of warning.

In the sun, I match

its warmth and mimic its light

and when it falls below the horizon

I radiate under the moon.

I am a safeguard for the undecided,

a warning for those in need.

I am a neutral shoulder,

on both my body and the side of a road.

pay no attention and still,

I am seen.
