Phone Down Eyes Up


Did you need to cross the street

Staring at google sheets

The walk sign may let you walk, but it doesn’t stop cars from moving

Just one unfocused step could leave you unmoving

Was the walk down a flight of stairs the right time to fix your hair

One missed step could leave you in a wheelchair

When you walked home through the park

Did you notice the danger in the dark

The text can wait

The email will still be there

Focus on walking before an accident becomes your worst nightmare
