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…
