“In
car commercials on TV
Cars
glide through vast wide-open spaces
Past
lake and canyon, glad and free.
In
car commercials on TV
Congested
streets we never see
Nor
desperate quests for parking places.
In
car commercials on TV
The
world is only open spaces.”— American poet, translator,
anthologist, editor, and author X. J. Kennedy, “A Triolet on Traffic,” in Peeping Tom's Cabin: Comic Verse, 1928-2008 (2007)
