Roundabout (May)



Car crashes determine road planning. Mr Toad crashed into trees and ponds, surviving innocently. It is not May 1907. Tearaway boys in May 1957 raced to beat others across an intersection, without success. Red lights give the green light to hotheads and short-attention-spans. Proliferation of roundabouts is no accident. But human cunning finds its way around about. Double-jinkers cut straight over an untreed roundabout, the bend too awkward. Absentminded motorists cruise right toward the vanishing point in the middle distance. Hoons, licensed in May 2007, drive too fast at midnight twenty-five times, the wrong way. Circular thinking! Ratty would despair.
