Scooters

In downtown Denver, people 
Zip around without a care
On the scooters that the city
Lets them access everywhere.

They are ridden on the sidewalks 
So whoever gets the urge
Locates one that's sitting idly 
With a battery's full surge.

They're not found in New York City, 
Where shared bikes are what folks use 
But if they make an appearance,
I think Citibikes would lose.

It's a vision of the future.
Walking, one day, won't exist
And perambulation, possibly,
Won't even be much missed.
