goes
around and comes around
who's
this idiot invented the wheel?
since
then we've all been on the mill
running
just running to keep up
and
trying to not hit the wall
for
our jollies the merry-go-round
dance
a jig and reel
when
we roll
the
track's never long enough
it's
never just A to B
there's
no longer even an end to the world
the
sun won't stop its spinning
like
a web does its own
like
a hundred years
and
prick your finger
it's
this way with the moon
and
every satellite
I
have a few myself
low
orbits
as
in the matter of imagery
axle,
rim and hub bespoke
so
this is the part of the revolution
where
you feel you've been fooled before
who's
this idiot invented the wheel?
who
made the circle turn?
life
was lovely still
and
since
it's
spinning a yarn
turning
a pot
it
all leads on to clockwork
so
with argument as well
I
find myself doing the rounds
some
days it seems Sisyphean
guess
I could say I'm on a roll
postscript:
please stay tuned
tomorrow I pour
the good oil on fire
Did you know that Minerva invented the wheel. A woman no less! I often think that wheelbarrows were invented by women who didn't have enough hnads for everything they had to carry.
