Now and again some hubcap, jolted loose,
clangs on the pavement, upright, spinning great,
and rolls a distance wholly on its own,
until it slows and ultimately veers
over the rocky shoulder, where it starts
to wobble, bounce, and flip, and finally skids
into the bottom of a muddy ditch--
if only for the once, a sort of wheel.
-Alexander Albertus
