The city sighs and cars collide and
I take it in all in manic stride.
Pent up hating, gross debating
run or spend a minute waiting.
Traffic lures me, lights assure me,
time for madness to endure me
Gridlock, trying, by and bying
someone's crying loud but surely
Put the foot down, sidles around,
can't the motion hurry on town
I'll twist the tries, nurse my black eyes
green says go but red defies......
