Civics
I read of conscientiousness
& how it increases the life-span
When this afternoon I see a man
On a bike porting a long sharp pole
But there is no flag of red alert
So maybe now it's the accident
Waiting to happen to that small girl
Who steps off the curb in such a hurry
Grandmother moves too slow
The pole pierces her precious eye
And enters her brain for a moment
And shuts down her primary function
So sudden the need for a civil society
Last seen haggling over the money
One experience of liability bleeding
One man looking for the first chance to run.
