A Question of Reinvestment

I have never thought to ask why the windshield wipers aren’t on the inside

Not once in 38 years and

When he asked the question

I smiled and played along

Internally grateful that I wouldn’t have to worry about paying for an Ivy League education

Grateful that is

Until just now

As I sat trying to write a poem about the question and

I suddenly remembered

All those times

I’ve used my sleeve

To rub the fog or

 Condensation or

Whatever

Off of the inside

Of my windshield and

I wondered if I had better start putting more coins in his piggy bank and

Whether the University of Michigan

Michigan State University and

The University of California

Might give me some money back

So that I could put it to better use
