The wheel has been lost
[let me repeat]
the WHEEL has been LOST.
Does anybody remember
where it was seen last?
Who forgot
to put it on its side?
It can’t run away
if we paralyze it–
I remember when stone
just sat there, inert.
It didn’t have an agenda,
didn’t have important places to go.
All of a sudden we’ve got rocks
on the run!
Our women and children
won’t be spared.
