Your interesting conversation led me back to your page. While your mind is beautiful, your poetry is perplexing to this straight and narrow rather non-metaphorical writer. For me, this is about the thoughts one has as he or she turns on the yellow light. See. Way too literal, I am. But I do much appreciate your smart banter. :)

Nah, you're right on the nose. Turning on the yellow is what this is all about.
This reminds me of some contemporary art that focuses on short words to build a portrait of people. Simple and sweet but open to a great amount of interpretation all the while leading the reader on a specific visual journey.
These sort of free verse poems are rather hard, but I think that this one has the perfect touch.
Wonderful job!
I love short poems, so much space left to imagine. This evokes a lot of different images and thoughts in me, like a very short video clip or a vivid memory. Nicely done.
Thank you for the read request. As I've said before, I know little about poetry and can offer minimal assistance by reviewing. For me this poem is very enigmatic. Perhaps that's the point. It gives rise to a lot of pondering.
