WHEELS
I have always heard that Native Americans
never came up with the idea or wheels.
Wheels would have certainly made life
that much easier for everyone. Definitely….
When wagons rolled by – when trains
arrived – how would one explain the
obvious – whatever they are, they
certainly make lugging stuff from
here to there less of a burden.
Was that why Who little boys love toys
with wheels? Who invented the wheel
in the first place. Who and where?
The why is obvious. Let’s get moving.

CLUMSY
If you don’t mind being clumsy,
you can learn the dance. Yes.
You might worry about critics
off to the side – along the walls –
or still sitting at their tables – but
you’ll learn the shifts and slides
of the dance – or you’ll get your
suitcase up to the fourth floor
when the elevator doesn’t work.
You’ll have night wear for the night
and a clean shirt in the morning.

IMPROVISED
Sometimes the most interesting part of life
is to improvise – to fix things on the run –
to get it done with what we have at hand.
Grey duct tape helps, So too imagination.
So too experience along with the ability
to laugh at our own creations. They need
a speaker on the spot. Here I am, gang.
Here l am. So too a broken window. So
too a broken toilet seat or venetian blinds.
Was that God’s method on the six days
of creation. And it was good. Good!
