Today’s word is “disinvent” ... dis-in-vent ... to undo the invention of; to reverse the existence of. (Dictionary.com)
Spin
What if we disinvented the wheel?
Peace would immediately descend.
Oh, it would take a bit longer
to get to the store,
But the garbage truck wouldn’t wake
me early Monday mornings.
We would have to home school,
but we’d know where our children were.
Horses would come back in style ...
I’d like a Palamino! And he could mow my lawn
for free.
We’d have to rename mobile homes. I suppose once
they were stationary, they would become
more respected.
The downsides don’t seem so bad. Our attention
might come back to essentials.
I imagine sitting in my nibbled grass, quietly
contemplating the birds, wondering where
my next meal was coming from.
