Real Estate Developers

all three are wearing suits and their hair has gel in it
to keep it looking fresh and styled all day as they go
about their business of developing real estate.
my eyes glaze, then pop at the number of new hotel
rooms and parking spaces, square footage of new office space,
all to be occupied by people who don't drive cars,
they must be different from the ones who currently live
on this planet, in this town, different from all the ones
who vision all day, and drive their cars to vision to us
after we get off work and they hope our vision is not too sharp.
my bike is parked outside and the batteries have
died in my light, I ride home in the dark and 
envision a world where we who live here
are treated as if we see perfectly clearly.
