The right is always open. Really, it's the easy path. But I find that if you took the easy path all the time, you're bound to end up where you started.
And then there's the left. Red is stagnant. Yellow is slow, it often comes and goes, but at least it's motion. Green: it never is green, isn't it?
I guess we just have to wait. No, not even that. I think it's our natural condition, to wait. We'll only ever see that damn green light twice: the first time, on the dock of our new self-made mansion, fading into the fog like our lost love's eyes; and the second, when we die.
We being ourselves, as individuals. But before we know it -- or, really, *after* we can ever really know it -- our successors strain at the intersection we thought, while we lived, our goal. And that's whether we waited red or yellow.
