as should you- independently, and transcendently.

a whistle from the kitchen
turned into a siren

a florescent sign flashed
where the sidewalk ends

caution
the floor's slippery
stop
you're going the wrong way
attention
in case of fire 

are we moving so fast
that we can't be accountable
for the two feet underneath us?

i caused that.
and that
and that
and this
and now i must brave
the unknown effects.
