twenty mile an hour laugh

the snow falls
and Babylon shows
its panic side
someone pushed
a button
everyone scurries around
and worries
how much of a problem
is it really
lightly covering
signs and stores
places where trees once stood
reaching for that winter dust
this Babylon turns the white
into a brown winter mess
laughing while driving
twenty miles an hour
and faces can be seen
all in their own metal box
everyone is so frustrated
still laughing while driving
twenty miles an hour
stuck for an extra five
or ten minutes
but what is the rush
the night is still young
why is no one else
laughing as they drive
twenty miles an hour…
