This week’s case of the Mondays
Entailed plummeting
Into an inescapable hole
Rubber clashing with jagged asphalt
Trailed by a pop!
Precisely slicing a crescent shaped space
In the preferably airtight place
I remembered
With an abrupt smack
In the face that the one
who was supposed to teach
His petit chéri
The science of swinging a bat or
Changing a spare hasn't
Been there to care let alone
Disclose ins-&-outs
Of tire repair
You were supposed
To toughen me up
And teach me how to
Make a 3-pointer / 3-point turn
And how a boy should treat me -
Or that I could survive
Without one at all
Still-
I have embraced
Evolved and
Learned to be tough
I may not be well-versed
In car mechanics but
I’ve learned to survive
With a flat tire father
