May 12, 2010Posted in: PoetryThe pure simplicity
And power
of travel over land
On two wheels
More trust placed
In an inch of rubber
Than years of friendship
Or love
Or blood
And seldom betrayed
Save an occassional flat
Easily repaired with three little tools
That fit in a pocket
Unlike friendship
Or love
Or blood
There are no tools
To fill a flat friendship
Patch love
Change out blood
So I sit astraddle
With beating heart
And pumping legs
On two wheels
