How frequently the transportation’s late,
the bus or train delayed, the traffic slow.
Though I’ve a car app to prognosticate
the transit time, to where I aim to go,
the route is clogged. A bicycle won’t wait
most days, but even then streets may not flow.
Perambulation is the only way
of getting where I want on time today.

(It takes a while, some commuters said,
but how would they employ their time instead?)
