When Wheels of Fortune Spin
The painted disc, a vibrant blur, A promise held in clicking sound. Each wedge a hope, a soft demur, Where chance and destiny are bound. What unseen hand compels the turn? What forces guide the halting click? A lesson that we slowly learn, Our grip on future, frail and slick. For every prize, a shadow waits, A near miss whispered in the air. The joy...

The Wheels Go Round and Round
Existence, existing and then the emptying out, the exit. X marks the spot where dots are always laid to rest. I have been pulling a little red meat wagon existing just before its hard rubber wheels, the wagon goes clickity clack, snick-itty-snit, bumpety bump uphill or below, it is eager to run me down always keen to bark my heels as I drag it over a shadow...

Driving Wheels, Crosses On The Side Of The Road
Crosses on the side of the road; Belief in passengers goes by — Where wrecked light within flowers grow, Crosses on the side of the road That besides the glass window hold, A memory's attest to time — Crosses on the side of the road, Belief in passengers goes by — ...

Two Wheels, One Journey
--- Two Wheels, One Journey A little boy, so full of cheer, Pedals fast without a fear. Through winding paths, so lush, so green, A world of wonders yet unseen. His laughter rings, so pure, so light, Chasing birds that dance in flight. The morning sun glows warm and bright, A golden spark in childlike sight. The road ahead is smooth and wide, Adventure calling from...

Premium Member The wheels turn in the circle of completion that always returns to us
The wheels turn in the circle of completion that always returns to us, From birth to death, from the first tear to the last sigh, We venture forward with the hope of uncovering hidden meaning, For in a fleeting moment of existence, amidst moments of silence, We reflect and return to well-trodden paths, building and tearing down, Trying to understand...

Premium Member Performance Wheels
Muniz motoring down the track object of affection, heating up performance wheels. Not predicated on subjective analysis, but merely his speed and placement in the race. No acting required, just talent, practice, showing up. Will he be a superhero one day, admired by all ages? For now, his stage is kicking up dirt, and oh yes, he has an audience. Will he be Malcolm in the...

The Colossal Wheels of Time
The colossal wheels of time, ever-turning gears, Grinding moments into the dust of bygone years. Massive cogs of destiny, relentlessly spin, Weaving tapestries of what has been and what's to begin. These cosmic clockworks, with their ceaseless churn, Roll over empires, leaving lessons to learn. They crush mountains to sand, carve canyons deep, While we, mere specks, our fleeting vigils keep. Thus, we...

Wheels of fate
The moon's pale glow fades memories As time's relentless wheels cascade Daymares haunt the traveler's path Passing in life's swift aftermath Brief moments slip, skip, and flip Amidst all the emptiness it envelopes To Submit to the whims of the unknown Seeking to even the uneven Life carousel turn round and round Tilting the fate of humanity to her knees Each twist and...

It's a Hard Road, and My Wheels Are Breaking Down
I’ve chosen a hard road One full of slings and arrows Regrets about what happened yesterday Anxieties over tomorrow I’m teaching the words To children who don’t care to hear Enforcing the code of discipline Before morality disappears I’m walking a hard road Surrounded by ice and fire Deciding between responsibility And quenching my desire I’m writing the words For Johnny Who Don’t Wanna Read Carving my memoir into...

Premium Member A Thanksgiving On Wheels
When my chef son came home from the navy He wanted to make Thanksgiving gravy And would like to process A live Turkey they’d bless And then sought out his farmer friend Davy Well he then went on his way to the farm Since we thought that he could not do much harm And he gave us his word That he’d pick a...

As Wheels Fall Off
A simulated consciousness beyond our will to choose Defying Einstein, Bohr, and Hume where logic stands defused The matter at hand can’t matter when rules unwrite themselves An order once thought preordained —entropic and indwelt (The New Room: August, 2023)...
