"Then Go, Then Wait"

Red and green seats
Bright beacons
In the night
Traffic lights
Asking you to stop a while
Then go
Perhaps you have nowhere
Then wait
Under this yellowed tree.
That's what nights are for,
Waiting,
While the city lights
Crowd your mind
With what they can offer
At a distance
At a price.
But wait a while
In this circle
You may just dance the night away.
