Stoplight Haiku

overweight,
patriotic,
ardent for a tax cut

beside a mailbox
blue sofa
covered in frost

goodwill sign
patient
among barren trees

daylight wanes
leaving
shadows walking

drizzle on election day;
wind takes
the last leaves

grass grows from cracks
in the bridge;
cars snake

waiting through 4 light cycles;
smoke from the plant -
morning cirrus
