amidst the slow-flowing rubber and steel and carbon
two electric vehicles sloppily grazed a kiss
two green drivers puce emerged and also soft-collided
collided like two binliners of hot air on spindly legs
both reeled seeing their dream-trolleys creased
one driver remonstrated by pointing down the street
while the other slowly tapped at his brow with his keyless keys..
a gaggle of teenage brats chemical-chicken wings-addled
gawked and gargle-giggled like a pack of possessed hyenas
machine-gun rabid laughter staccato peeled nearby plaster
while the lolling lollipop lady took a tasteful selfie
one arm stretched with wand at the carbon-neutral prang
all lop-sided smirk with a wink for the send
then she ambled back to the pavement
and thumbed a senryu message for the intended..
a pub window-gazer sprang masked/ driipped fume-blue chin
he also drew out his black mirror for much ado about nothing
for the prangees now seemed as if engaged in strange tai chi
they posed knees bent framing insurance-claim photos expertly
and though all details were exchanged politely
a dawdling something-warden beckoned them both to him
ignored
so he sulkily began logging their registration numbers
and.encore the whole thing again kicked off..
united both drivers explained their issue had been resolved entre nous
but the something-warden was having none of it and called the police
passing gunslingers in telepathic unison re-readied their camera eyes
as car horns blared a cacophony of 7/4 jammed-driver-time
distant sirens became ever more distant then faded bestilled
no flashing blue lights appeared as backed-up traffic hissed
eventually both men floated back to their semi-recyclable significances
with the something-warden left alone bag-holding the indifference..
