Flash-and-Dash

Waiting for the green man
To walk the walk,
I stand striped from below
In the dry shadow of my umbrella.

Neighbors drip around me;
Crossing the lines
To flash teeth in selfies.

And, when he walks
In place, in a place
Perpendicular to us –
We rush to him,
Full of thanks and wet habits:

But lonely as arrows
Without targets.
