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.
