The traffic light out the living room window keeps me great company on lonely nights. I watch it click from red to green to yellow and back to red. It reminds me that the world is still going on out there, not matter what. The abstract metonymy is not lost on me. Watching the walk signal counting down. Over and over. Life is happening, even if mine is not.
