Post No. 837
.
City-life
.
The smooth soothing hum
Of traffic through the suburbs
. The lifeblood of evolution
. All rushing to get things done
.
And everyone working to plan
An art-aerial view enabling all
Who follow the map to obey
. The rules and not go beyond
. The lines drawn on the road
White lines yellow lines
Broken lines and token lines
.
. . And heaven forbid a brake
. . Or jam— traffic sticking fast
. As long as it lasts
Fingers drumming on the wheel
. And then it starts
. BEEP-BEEP BEEP-BEEP
. And the 4WD’s baritone
. BOOB-BOOB BOOB-BOOB
.
Middle fingers waving
Open mouths silently yelling
(Aircon always too hot – or too cold)
.
. Hesitation or trepidation
. Cannot keep the meeting waiting…

Ha. The city moves at a different pace. It can be chaos, but a beautiful chaos at times too.
Keeping your cool is not always easy cause there are plenty of crazies out there on the streets and the rules
of the are road are much different.
