Tree-Lined Street

What's between the lines?
Where there are trees on either side
A gross pathway
For combustion
And speed
Rip up this street, please,
And replace it with trees
Planted along a curve
A long curve
That defiles the center line
Castigates the plan
Prevents transit
Makes efficiently natural
A thing so unvaried
As to extend toward the horizon
And house accidents
And rage
And conflict
Across this unbending contour
Rather than lining this street with trees
Which is rather beautiful
Line life
Without lines
Without plans
Without intentions
