Nighttime Highway Blurriness



Bright White headlights, Fast.
Red Taillights, squeal; Bright Red lights,
Flash; Blurriness Pursues.

About this poem

This Haiku is simply about how chaotic the highway looks at night, specifically, from the perspective of someone observing it without their glasses/correction lenses. The first line represents how the highway headed toward you is extremely bright with drivers using high beams. The second line represents how the highway headed away from you is extremely dim and becomes bright red when someone uses their brakes. The last line represents how the brake lights turn off immediately and how blurriness continues with the bright white headlights.
