School Morning Predawn Ride
Roaring through the night,
eyesight and headlight,
all are set on bright.
Dawning crisp morning,
fresh air, wind bathing,
warm engine stroking.
Mind pictures forming,
throttle hand numbing,
white lines vanishing.
Downshift, getting set,
praying no deer met,
passing, onward get.
Sunrise before me,
riding to the sea,
leaving island lee.
Ferry ticket stand
snatches from my hand,
soon away from land.
Main side, off and in,
Mister J begin,
with students again.
