Stop Sign

It silver bars stick out of the ground stopping every car that comes by.
In the dead of winter, frost cling to each of its eight sides,
but even at night it can be seen from the sheer bright headlight reflected on it's surface as the cars comes to a steady halt.
They notice it for just a momment and than pass by.

After years of safety it has brought to the streets. It old age start to show. The paint flecks off like newly falling snow. Rust scars its shinning silver pole and only hard work is etched beneath. This sign full of cautiousness, now lay motionless ready to be recycled and live again once more.
