We Call Them "Cars"

a poem by Joshua Brown

We call them "cars"
As if the asphalt
Mined from earth
Is somehow at fault.
 
Four wheels spin
As if the train jolts
But the train stops
And the "car" bolts
 
We call them "cars"
But the tires live on
Eating shooting ranges
Impervious to the sun
 
Oh nice, a playground
Glad to see so much
Free market action
Give zero fucks.
