At a Crossroads

There's no place more crowded than this intersection of sidewalk and street.

A figure flashes green, commanding the charge of two sides of people.

People! And occasionally a lone car wanting to join the fray.

Others like me sit still and watch,

some with sandwiches, some holding hands;

Not quite sure what we're looking for.

Entertainment? No.

Peace? No.

Purpose? Please.

There may be no place more crowded than this intersection of sidewalk and street,

But there's nothing meaningful to find here.
