Lightspeed
Green
I am permitted to move
But I remain at rest
Emerald raindrops glitter in the night
Yellow
From emeralds to nuggets of gold
Engines wake from their slumber
I stand on the yellow brick road
Red
Roar of engines, squeaking of tires
Blood spatter on my coat
Rubies hit the road
Yellow
Grinding of brakes, cessation of movement
I require no transition
I bask in the light from a miniature sun
Green
I am permitted to move
