The Disappearing One Wheel Cart

The road sweepers
Giggled happily 
While collecting and carrying rubbish 
With a one wheel cart
The construction workers 
Sweated heavily
While collecting and carrying bricks 
With a one wheel cart
As children 
We played secretly 
With the one wheel cart
Carrying inside a little girl as a bride
And the cart rolled and rolled
Until it disappeared from our eyes
Together with our child brides
Maybe with only some heartbroken memories left
To this progressive world
