Deserve The Wheel

 


What did you do to deserve the wheel? Or your mother's breast or cooing and ooing, or the right to experience their absence, for that matter? What did you do to deserve facing death first thing, early, then to be smacked and invalidated as an individual person? Or were you, or was that invalidation? What did you do to deserve "validation?" Were you not an ignorant fool fresh from the fool-cooker, and didn't your ignorance deserve a little terror? What, for instance did you know compared to Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, Prime Minister Lester Pearson, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Prime Minister John Turner, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Prime Minister Jean Chretien--they knew a lot more, didn't they? What did you do to deserve "decent" treatment? What did you do to deserve being "cute?" What did you do to deserve your eyes, nose, mouth, heart, hands, feet? Or if you don't have those, whatever you do have? What did you do to deserve to exist? What did existence do to deserve itself? Goodbye!
