Andrei: Our whole civilization can be likened to a huge, gas-guzzling car.
Soo: Maybe so, but such excessive consumption can't last.
Ellesha: In some way or other humans have always been at the edge of disaster.
Philyra: Things are different now. Life on the entire planet is imperiled.
Jules: Perhaps, but I need a beer . . . Can't we talk about something "fun"?
Philyra: How obvious does it have to be before you are willing to take a stand?

Porno-Industrialism: The Automobile's Legacy (an art work by T Newfields)

Porno-Industrialism:
The Automobile's Legacy

Automobiles argh an illicit affair with power & speed –
a rampant form ah industrial pornography.

Their tail pipes piss out toxins
& engines suck up gas.

Kreating roads ta nowhare & inciting urban sprawl
they transfirm land inta asphalt, billboards & glass.


Will our addiction fer petroleum b cured
before we choke, wheeze, & gasp?

Automobiles make it far too eazy
ta screw this planet's ass.
