Poetry On Odyssey: Hypnotic Lights
To everyone else, it signals something is wrong, but for me, those police lights saved me from going insane
Click, click, click, click
sends me into a trance
hard to break from.
Click, click, click, click
The zooming cars on the interstate
no longer bother me.
Click, click, click, click
All I can do is focus on each click,
as I watch the light turn from blue to red over and over again.
Click, click, click, click
Somehow with every click
I become calmer.
Click, click, click, click
I try to focus on every other click
but I fail since both hold me hostage.
Click, click, click, click
Perhaps they are comforting me
even though I am unsure why.
Click, click, click, click
is all I can here,
and nothing else matters.
Click, click, click, click
The police car door opens,
it is the woman who helped me out of my dad's truck.
She talks to me, and all focus on the clicks vanish
Even though they
Click, click, click, click
I can hear them no more.
