shibuya crossing

a storm sky frowning
green man flashing on the street
passersby hide heads
as he bares what they most dread
red traffic light’s long countdown

  1. I had to look this unfamiliar word “shibuya “up to search its meaning and after a few clicks I was schooled (educated) on this busy bustling culture of Shibuya Crossing in Japan. I have a 12 year old who is in love with Tokyo and the pop group BTS. I will impress her tonight by sharing your poem! Clever word play that the word “buy”is in the name Shibuya, referencing the enticing shopping district of Japan. I can only imagine thousands of people at Shibuya crossing hurrying to and from their busy lives like a trillion worker ants on a mission to survive. Awesome poem thanks for sharing!
