Commanding the Crosswalk

I wasn't about to waste the afternoon cooped up inside after breakfast! I marched down the apartment stairs, stormed onto the sunny sidewalk, and charged straight to the intersection! Mounted on the steel traffic pole was a bright yellow crosswalk box, its heavy metal button sticking out like an arrogant dare! You think I wait around for traffic to give me permission?! Not a chance! I leaped onto the lower mounting bracket, dug my combat boots against the pole, and drove my right grenade gauntlet dead center into the button! CLANG! A loud mechanical chime echoed across the street as the signal activated! That's how I command the entire crosswalk!
