RED-LIGHT CAMERA POEM

(Posted Anonymously on
Eye on Albuquerque)

Oh I
Love to shred mail
Postmarked Scottsdale

While you are kissing cameras
And snuggling speeding vans
Dreaming of the trolleys
And money in your hands

I’m left to wonder just when
Due process took its leave
Then, at once, I see the light
No longer do I grieve

Now I never see the notice
The envelope might contain
I do not like their rules, I say
I will not play their game

Put up 70, 80, 90
I really couldn't care
See the pretty, light confetti
Floating through the air

I love the lies, I love the threats
My notices contained
Sometimes just to be different
I'll set one all aflame

One day I got a picture
Of my car up on a hill
It was so nice, I sent a pic
Of a hundred dollar bill

Just don’t speed, don’t run red lights
Some pinhead will retort
When they give out real tickets,
I’ll show up to a real court.
