Susan Hawthorne #189 parking meters


new parking meters
free spaces now to be paid

but we don't like the change
fewer free spots

more money for council
the woman in the car

in front as I pull in to park
stands holding something

she's looking at me
and when I am parked

she offers me her ticket which still
has twenty minutes to run

I cheer inwardly at the national
character of subversion

perhaps we are all a little bit
of convict
