Third Wheel from Camp Sabbatical by Sarah Galvin

when you're a third wheel
it kinda makes you feel
like a tricycle
made just for adults

youre big, dumb, ugly
and cumbersome
associated with a bum
taking up space in the bike lane
everyone thinks you're in the way

but a tricycle
can't help it was made
or that it's ungainly
and maybe it stayed

way past its welcome
it didn't know
there's limits to kindness
or where to go

you can't really blame it
for ignorance
it was born a tire short
with just three rims

and a tricycle
made just for adults
the derision
is kinda built right in
they can't help but laugh
it's like a photograph
from a different era
a grotesque chimera
with no purpose or place
in the modern age
i'll just ride away
i'll just ride away
on my tricycle
made just for adults
even though i'm not one
even though i'm not one
even though i'm not one
of those
