Rolling down life’s highway
In my chair with four wheels,
I see people who were once
Speeding past me,
Stop and wonder what I am.
 
They watch me wheel down
The road as if I was part
Of a sideshow passing through
Town, trying not to think,
“Poor little thing, how could
Such a broken body handle
The hard bumps of life’s highway.”
