earth note 699














a great pittsburgh ride
     circa 1993
is still waiting for the sun to come out

the colors fade faster
than the legs spin
even with a fitness storefront
in every mall or maul
all inclusive
like a 'healthcare package'

when i rode my bicycle to junior high
some of the kids laughed at me
& said i needed to ditch it
for a better one
of course this was only 1960
long before the eco bicycle awakening
     brought me clipless pedals

this may get me a score of unwanted
online advertising but i definitely
believe in upgrading to a more
supportive and comfortable
prostate neutral
     saddle

that view in your helmet mirror
is not a look back
but forward
