Phone Down Eyes Up
Did you need to cross the street
Staring at google sheets
The walk sign may let you walk, but it doesn’t stop cars from moving
Just one unfocused step could leave you unmoving
Was the walk down a flight of stairs the right time to fix your hair
One missed step could leave you in a wheelchair
When you walked home through the park
Did you notice the danger in the dark
The text can wait
The email will still be there
Focus on walking before an accident becomes your worst nightmare
