Whose Words Declare War on Each Other

What a nice dimmer compared
To some days around here.
Never trust a mouth, says the mouth.

It’s easier to dumb up the whole
Situation in sum, done, than to figure
Out what to do about transportation

When a mechanical vehicle malfunctions
And there’s no funding for repairs
Much less for finding a new one.

Some are wise and a few are fortunate,
But everyone gets some practice at being
Practical. That’s no practice for not being.
