I crossed the golden gate bridge and saw no faces.
I crossed the bay bridge and passed the booths only empty spaces.
I looked at the road ahead and thought they must have been paid a lot to leave in good graces.
Is this what our society embraces,, automated systems that our jobs it replaces, takes pictures of my plates with the time and date~, my movement it traces.
What is the toll we'll pay, one day when our faces the machine erases.
