Letter to the Stop Sign

To the stop sign on the corner

Who reminds me to slow down

Look both ways before you make a sound

This next turn could be the one to change history

Constantly rushing yet you provide a break

To fiddle with the volume on this new mixtape

You give me a chance to change directions

What if this is an important intersection

So really thank you for this intermission

But it’s time for me to move on

I’ll see you again tomorrow

With a different destination
