On a traffic light, green means ‘go’ and yellow means ‘yield’, but on a banana, it’s just the opposite. Green means ‘hold on,’ yellow means ‘go ahead,’ and red means, ‘where the hell did you get that banana at?’ – Mitch Hedberg
She was not
Completely
A loose woman.
She thought of herself
As rather coy and selective.
I saw her
More like a blinking yellow light
At a busy highway intersection.
One felt some sense of danger
At least the need for caution
But no one
Ever
Bothered to slow down.
