DATE ON BIKES
rented bicycles
our wobbly legs
older now
couldn’t carry us
to that paddy’s day bar
when you're young
the winds at your back
red-faced jubilation
legs pumping
wheels going round and round
like the sun spinning
hurling toward sunset
and God smiled at us that day
knowing of us foolhardy folks
of all the persons on the base
zillions and zillions
our friend, karen and brother
would carry us home
she packed in the back
short and stinking drunk
between the spokes
what fun we had
tipsy tired
little lassie
with glasses
so sweet
cheers to that year
so long ago
hope you feel the warmth
the glow
kisses spinning in the air
or if you’d rather
four leaf clovers
