Inscription for a monument at the crossroads.

a victim of modernity:
but yesterday he hadn’t the time —
and now he has eternity.

Next time you’re driving and the light turns yellow and then red, try easing up on the gas and just letting that light go. Ease up a bit once in awhile, and see if it makes a difference.
