dark roads

the world's shields come down at night. 
in the day when you drive down the road, 
everyone's walls are up,
sealed-off lives passing each other
never intersecting. 
when dark falls the walls fall down
and as you drive you can see little bursts of their lives
other existences that'll never be yours
letting off a faint yellow light as you pass by
and disappear
