WHEELS

Somewhere along the line it hit me
during some Western movie:  "Did the
Native Americans ever use wheels?"

I’d be watching a Western and I’d
see folks moving across the screen
dragging their stuff on long tent poles.

It seemed clumsy and cumbersome.
Wheels would have made the
migration all the more easier.

Just one of those ongoing life questions
like: I saw other kids skating or on a bike
and I must have said, "I want wheels." 

Wheels... just to make life easier. Ooops!
In my second childhood will I see someone
in a wheelchair and I'll say, "I want wheels."
