We take it for granted,
the ability to see and be seen;
ninety miles per hour on the highway
would be accompanied by red and blue lights,
not tonight.
It’s an orange-white street light
over your shoulder
masking the faint-taste of alcohol
on your tongue and
not judging you for what you have become,
but there to show you what you could be.
So look past the orange-white light
and to the skyline as it gets all of the attention.
When the city falls asleep,
remember who it is
guiding you home past midnight
Your writing is fantastic :) I also live in New Jersey haha

Hi Vinny, your prose brings home how important those orange-white street lights are to all of us drivers and how peaceful the road looks without the crazy traffic that congests each mile of the highways! Its another good one you have put together and I wonder what you are going to write about soon!! Thank you.
