Resistance

People pop around bob-bop around in these
motorised horseless chariots
here and to, there and hither
boxes of frustration, computerised
four wheeled illusions of freedom
As traffic lights inhibit to delay,
lights stop start stop start
jolt, move, jolt, move
Wired in, Circuit bored,

As traffic lights are the resistor, stop-go
And Roundabouts channel the charge,
So Mon-ey inhibits energetic flow.
