Best Kickstand Poems

Tiny package under the tree
Could not be my wish come true
But note inside addressed to me
Leads me to something shiny new

Standing proud in the driveway
The thing I very most desire
A bicycle red finally came my way!
Of this gift I'd never tire

At times this bike would...

 Hopped out early from his bunk bed
 Jumped into his old blue jeans
 Slipped his hand into his pocket
 Found enough change for a drink

 Put his tennie to the kickstand
 Hopped aboard his three-speed bike

Hidden under crop circle
resembling an ampersand
hides sheathed silo - obscured,
said symbol adorned every armband
of national socialist, yet weapons

repurposed for a bomb bin able

(made in good ole US of A) brand

I was somewhere deep in Kansas,
  on a Triumph 69’

When your song came on the jukebox,

Seat smoothed shape
Saddle bags filled

Teardrop tank
Filled with fuel

Speed 0 to 60
Headlight on

Blinker clicks

Key in ignition
Ready to go

No Motorcycle License
That’s a no, no...

The green rind
of the two-wheeler
remembers
Anne & Louis
with legs splayed.

They scream and laugh
as they race downhill,
then his feet with friction
still
the excitement, as

he turns around and faces
her, above the watermelon

Famished, their transport
would be easy eats -

"A dressed day has disrobed into the depth of a drawer's nightstand." 

(Oh, how positively awesome that what can be sorted out in such an explanatory pattern that a difference would maketh a day.)

The muskiness slouches about to a point of apathetic stoppage, and even...
