Holy Stop, by Julie Potiker

A little after 2pmI exit the 5-south freeway at Loma Santa Fe.At the traffic light, two women with bright green vestsCROSSING GUARD in tall black letters.Outstretched armgrasping pole with big red stop signhats with brimssunglasses shielding eyesfrom the California sun.
A precious jobA vital taskshepherding school children.
Three vest clad women, one vest clad mana Santa Claus beardPerhaps a grandpa.Or merely a good neighbor.
A generous offering.A lovely way totake good care of children.
These are the things we can do in this messy lifewhere nature wreaks havoc24-hour news cycle shaking you for attention.
It might be standing on a street corner,shielding your eyes from the sun,holding a stop sign.Holy, stop, perfect.
