United Nations finds pedestrian driver switch = peace
an ash quarter horse buggy buggies
& a Ford Model A four-wheeler
wheels over orange dust
& a red-seat Kawasaki
& silver side-car weaves between lanes
& Adam prams a pram
with two-month Jane
whaling
& Jill’s hairless
right arm swings
a tan briefcase
& John jogger jogs in red stripped
white sweat pants
> two-hundred years
pedestrians on the side
& vehicles in the center
≠ more
the rules of the road Bill is law
roads will Bea grey cemented
& sidewalks black tarred
& Jack’s 33” haired legs
walks two-miles per hour
Nike step after Nike step
& Eve motors a white Ford F
wearing a black head-scarf
with tail tarring the sidewalk
cement
