Types of Damage, or
The Michelin Man Has a Bad Day
Tread Damage
happens when someone ignores
the warning "don't tread on me"
having trod,
damage ensues.
we were warned.
Sidewall Damage
you know how when
you come out of the bar and you're
drunker than you thought? but damn
you're good at faking it! until
that wall comes out of nowhere,
blindsides you.
Bead Damage
Beady eyes.
Always watching.
This does not bode well.
Failed Tire Repair
So damn tired! SO tired.
the nap
didn't help.
Impact Damage
is the result of that sidewall thing
that happened. If you're lucky,
only bruises
Undulation
Yeah, see, the floor?
It's like it's got waves in it.
You tried to be good.
It didn't work out.
