A Motorcyclist's Ode to the Car

Stop and go, stop and go. Break, merge, and yield.
It's the calm that I'd feel in an active minefield,
and the joy, and sheer beauty, of bureaucrats' halls.
I'm kept from my own time by walls within walls:
A cubicle made out of glass, aluminum, steel,
Too light on power, with too many wheels,
High-speed locomotion with all the romance of puree.
I'm both wroth with, and bored with, this part of my day,
Despite risking a death that I no longer fear
Because I would rather not be, than be here.
