A giant car,
the size of 30 Empire State Buildings
rose up before the metroplex of Dallas-Fort Worth.
Holding aloft in the sky,
holding all dominion,
it towered over 1 billion miles of highway.
The highways ran left and right
as far as the eye could see,
merging into Space
and Infinity at the edge of the horizon.
Speckled here and there were signs for
AppleBee’s,
Wal-Mart,
McDonald’s,
and Home Depot.
This colossal of car held sway
and took place of the 5 million people
living down below, back on the ground.
The remainder of the cars,
that the seven and a half million people
once used,
got up and walked to the ocean.
