Freeway Haikus

from the ABC set Hidden Capacity ~ a poet's journey (Pub, Ireland 2003)

1.
cars storm-trooper lined
ants determined migration
towards work or play

2.
radios thundering
constantly changing tempo
sudden silence awes

3.
don’t break formation
deviate at personal risk
incur road rage storm

Thanks Nathan,
The pieces were written travelling on the train to Perth City which runs down the centre of our main freeway. I gazed at the traffic and was pleased I wasn't part of it!

Thanks V.C. and Nathan your comments and encouragement are greatly appreciated. Just to clarify my comment above, I meant Perth in Western Australia.
