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 

wailing 

& Jill’s hairless  

right arm swings  

a tan briefcase  

& John jogger jogs in red striped 

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 gray cemented 

& Olivia loads a Ford F-150  

pick-up truck 

& Jack’s 33” haired legs 

walk 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
