Notes About The Poem

you can get so good at moving on that nothing seems to matter


 

The Biker

I loved riding my
bike as a child. It offered
me a new world view.

I was fast and free.
Then we put cards in the spokes,
and I motorcycled.

I cut corners like
a politician and wore
aviator glasses...

I could have passed my
driving test, last year - but nooo
- for once - I was chill.

I'm sure the trauma
of my laziness will scar
me, but - maybe not.

Sometimes I'm
SO resilient that people
think me uncaring.

Warning: People may
be far more emotional
than they might appear

If I’d only gotten my operators license when I had a chance I’d have more freedom to get out with short drives when I’m feeling stir crazy. Thanks Rico. =]

First freedom is like a first kiss - a missed opportunity may last a while. Thanks for commenting =]
