There is no Symbolism in a Flat Tire

 

There is no symbolism in a flat tire

This morning it was round, and now it is not

Part of it is round, and part of it is flat

Either way, it’s not going anywhere

 

Not to the movies, or for coffee with a friend

Or to the grocery for that famous loaf of bread

Which through mitosis becomes shopping for a week

And I didn’t know you like asparagus

 

A tire cannot fly us to the moon with Sinatra

It never could. But Denny’s with you would do
