the river runs fast when squeezed

the river runs fast when squeezed
builds up might when oppressed
ripples with the wind
and develops undercurrents 
when rubbed the wrong way

the dykes rise so high
that typhoons can't supply
prepared for future time
and stormy Mondays
not your clock or mine

fast cars honk pass noisy scooters
late for nowhere
never mind the river
the criminals forgetting
the river runs faster when squeezed

some drivers get tired of waiting
count missed opportunities
temporal limits
 domino effects
vacations cancelled 

park your scooter, sit beside me
you are not disturbing
drunk, sick, and out of time
sorry wasted man 
have a cigarette

driver, park beside me
start a conversation
mount your scooter
into the procession
of motorized worshipers
