at intersection
confused drivers hesitate
green light broken

floes in the genesee

chunks of ice floating
nudged by the muddy river
flecks of white in taupe

lined up at right angles,
four cars staring, wondering,
who'll make the first move?

river mouth

brown and blue eddies
twirling in the lake betray
the river's passing.

constriction site

road cholesterol:
bright orange barrels blocking
the flow of traffic.
