Big Wheel

I used to be a grown-up

Made reasonable choices

Stopped at all the red lights

Made careful 90 degree turns

No accelerating on curves

No swerving

Those days are gone.

Now i'm a wild kid on a

Big Wheel

Rumbling plastic

Careening down theDriveways of life

Forgetting those restraints of

Caution, time, good sense

Ignoring those calls forDinnertime

Flinging myself over the

Bumps and

Crying

When i get hurt.
