Public

I love a city built without a car.
The way the streets meander to and fro,
The sidewalks made for people to walk far,
The distances made shorter by the flow
Of human need, which places near each spot
The real demands of our necessity:
A place to eat, a place to sit in thought,
A place to buy, to entertain, to be.
A city built along an older plan
Assuming you will need to walk or ride
Is more responsive than a carport can
Or even will be. When I am inside
A city built for us, I find my feet
Are dancing as I wander down each street.
