Excerpted from Parking Meter Poetry.
Around the nation we are sold to the Saudis and the Arabs. In Chicago, Morgan Stanley treats us as if we were dung scarabs.*
For sixty years they force us to work for our indenturement while pocketing the discount rate of the money they’ve done spent.
As parking meters, we have rights, and we think you should agree it’s time to set the record straight and set us meters free.
*scarabs are a species of insect that includes Dung Beetles.
This has been another episode of Parking Meter Poetry made possible by a crazy old man who sits around day and night planning to take over the literary world, and someday become poet laureate of the world, or at least the street he lives on.
