Royal ride on an elephant; elephant's wooden wheel wagon, Bangkok
Bullock's "gypsy" wagon, Philippines
Counterpart of the horse's chariot of war,
the peaceful bullock's cart on rice paddies,
kariton or partigo' our village invention,
all from the wheel through the centuries.
We wonder at technology's evolution,
from a rolling stone to wood to steel,
relegating the wheel today to the museum,
and denying we can't re-invent the wheel.~
