DUMB

Sometimes we do the stupid thing –
like not taking care of the right front
tire – till it’s too late and it goes flat -
some 256 miles away from home.

To self-destruct – that’s something
we humans do – and too, too often.
We eat too much. We say the wrong
thing. Then we blurt out, “Dumb!”

To walk in the light – seems to appear
only in church services and prayers –
not in real life. To be smart, to get new
tires: now would trigger us to do that?
