Bright red rubies moving forward

Multicolored diamonds going backwards

Purring engines and the occasional screeching breaks

Blink blink blink

Change lanes left

Blink blink blink

Change lanes right

Flash flash flash

A patrol car's lights

Sirens pierce the sound of silence, engines, radios, and light conversation

Slow down

Pull over

The entire highway now belongs to the emergency vehicles

The sirens grow louder and then quickly farther away

Blink...

Blink...

Blink...

Cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs pull back onto the highway and resume what they were doing

Once again the different cabs are full of variations of silence, engines, radios, and light conversations
