IN TOWNS


There's a roadwork somewhere.  There always is I suppose. A building that needs to keep going while the roadwork is commencing.  It resumes and sometimes it stops. The work sometimes stops.  If you are up to it and expecting it to be done by schedule,  then maybe you're one of those that badly needs it done.  Maybe you need it for your business transport.  Maybe you needed to see it for yourself up close, keeping the motor running so they say. Or maybe you have a car, a motor vehicle, a pedicab or just a bicycle, a skateboard, rollerskates, your shoes, your sandals, your bare feet. Whatever it is that takes you from point A to point B.

And so you needed it paved well.  A walkway, a driveway, an alley, a pathwalk, a sidewalk for the street, the road, the highway, the expressway.  A flyover, rotunda, a cul de sac, a curve, a dead end. A pavement, oh yes... a pavement.  We need a well paved pavement here.  For our avenues, our boulevards, the motorways, the bridges. 

Heavy traffic and overpopulation of vehicles cause mishaps and accidents or is it the other way around?  Do wider roads and smooth roads cause more of this?  Or is it alright to have a certain amount of traffic congestion on our way to work, on our way home.  So we'd never have to keep going somewhere, somewhere, yeah somewhere out. But the schools are located there.  Out there.  Our offices, our work spaces, our gathering places. Yeah, they're out there.  They somehow is located out there. Uptown, downtown...town, town, to the town.  Are you in town?

And then there goes our farms.  Our mountain, our valleys, the hills, plateaus? The unpaved road that will take you there.  Somewhere that may take you to brooks, streams, lakes and maybe a waterfall.  To the ocean, and back again.
