the 3rd wheel

been dragged along
by one friend or the
other, be the context
one of two new lovers
needing that 3rd wheel
to feel comfortable
(feel out the other),
whether out of some
“act of compassion” on
the part of the two
friends to bring the
seemingly antisocial out
of the cave, whether it
be just an innocent
trip to oblivion
whose impetus came
from a mutual conversation
between them all,
the fact remains the same
that when said 3rd wheel
has feeling for one of the
other wheels, then this
three wheeler just ain’t
gonna do the tricks in the
sand hills like it was
supposed to, now is it?
