Traffic

 

[Traffic]

 

“february traffic haiku “

 

numerous examples of

motorcar

queue enormously at peak

 

mini glances from windows then

minibus

school kids return to scrolling

 

light angular insectoid

bicycles

swarm and split fly out of sight

 

useless extras bedeck brute

utilities

aerials bullbars pipeflaps

 

life offers visions like an

ambulance

ferrying forth against death

 

do not cut in front of a

three-piece tram

hundred rhinos are not wrong

 

mobile heartbeat at the lights

crossover

disco on wheels squeals and goes

 

mountainous turns corners the

tourist bus

leaving vistas in its wake

 

armed with map locations the

campervan

knows there is no place like home

 

burning through midday extremes

fire truck

lights up the street its alarm

 

three-sixty-degree access

e-scooters

park across well-trod footpaths

 

blinkering gasolineing

limousines

careering desiring

 

modest undemonstrative

couriers

send the message emails can’t

 

shaggy the secret life of

panel vans

behind smooth exteriors

 

driving home the full import

vehicles

sporting their exotic names

 

wheels within wheels fast forward

police car

time catching up with the crime

 

lawless clueless lightless a

pizza-bike

runs the red with late orders
