El Paso, Texas: weather report

El Paso, Texas:
a wretched, uncivilized, ugly place

The crowning glory of the madness being a system of roads designed by a madman
upon which climate destroying individually piloted vehicles rush in an insane reverie,
risking life and limb,
roads going to nowhere,
roads which abruptly end or start up again
traffic lights to stop vehicles traveling at 40 or 50 miles an hour

all a form of ugliness designed to shrink the brains of the formerly human beings trapped within the walls of ugly vehicles, ugly houses, in a best case scenario illuminated by a merciless sun, and at worst, not illuminated but tortured by pinpricks of bright light cast by an approaching vehicle, blindly rushing into an ugly future

all for the sake of no greater good
all for the sake of perpetuating ugliness and injustice, misery ad infinitum,
grotesque and ignorant
harsh and unfeeling
not a civilization but the death of all beauty
