    Look out of any city window:

    Cars will slice through your thoughts and take them away

    For nothing.

    Stand in any street

    Bristling with painted piranhas

    Playing the flatulent, whining muzak of stress,

    And be forced to absorb their every wilful manoeuvre―

    A mass-produced multiple sword of Damocles

    Inexhaustibly hovers over every action.

    Streets that were open universities,

    Are now the open sewers of the car-cult.

    But, if all this proves too overwhelming,

    You have permission

    To take it out on anyone you wish―

    Including yourself―

    With a relaxing impunity . . .

    The Visitor follows up the court reports:

    Hit someone over the head with a chrome fender and kill them―

    Life.

    Take the precaution of attaching the chrome fender to a car,

    Hit someone over the head with it, and kill them―

    Six months suspended. Licence briefly withheld.
