green revolution

the green revolution should
start with public
transportation

we can
in a successful show
of the finger
to the big 3
outlobby them
pooling philanthropic funds

the carmakers can
compete in providing
the best public transportation

i'm talking
better fares
faster rides
bullet trains
commuter planes
express and luxury buses

every part of the city
will be connected
every city interlinked

this is freedom
in the true sense

for you can't call
strapping yourself in
an iron cell and obeying
traffic rules under threat
of fines
injury
loan and insurance payments
freedom

finally
we can decapitate
private cars
into metal flower pots
and turn every parking lot
into the orchard
or garden
it once was
