人们都在忙于汽车，听广播，所以没有人可以微笑，所以我只是把我的爱发送给了交通信号灯。没有人整天欣赏他们，努力工作以使红色，黄色和绿色变成，以确保我们不会彼此崩溃。如果他们碰巧还活着的机会很小，甚至最小的机会，我敢打赌，我是有史以来第一个告诉他们他们很特别的人。你很特别，我在车上大声说出来，但是如果他们听不到的话，我打开了窗户。我说：“你很特别。”
(The people were all busy in their cars, listening to the radio, so there was no one to smile at, so I just sent my love to the traffic lights. No one ever appreciates them, all day long, working so hard to turn red and yellow and green, right in time with us to make sure we don't crash into each other. If there was any tiny chance, even the tiniest chance, that they happened to be alive, I bet I was the first person ever to tell them they were special. You are special, I said out loud in my car, but in case they couldn't hear, I cracked my window open. "You are special," I said, to the night air.And just like that, a green light.)
叙述者反思了孤独的时刻，同时陷入交通，并指出在他们的收音机中吸收的汽车中的人们的隔离。他们感到断开连接，幽默地决定对交通信号灯表示感情，而交通信号灯不懈地管理车辆的流动。叙述者将灯光想象成无意识的工人，在防止事故和维持秩序方面发挥了至关重要的作用。这个异想天开的观念使他们听到声音宣称灯光很特别，承认它们在日常通勤中的意义。
这种识别行为转变为与环境的嬉戏互动，即使在平凡的情况下，也暗示了联系感。当叙述者对交通信号灯说话并打开窗户以确保他们的信息到达夜空时，出现了绿灯。这个异想天开的结论说明了在原本常规情况下的喜悦和积极时刻，强调了承认和增强生活中最简单的方面的重要性。
