Aiming For Just Under the Bullseye

A lack of a horse or a Harley had long held him back,
the curse of normalcy and no redeeming truck.

Some said he held himself back
others shrugged 
knowing he had already lost a race
he never dared to enter.

Nevertheless he plowed his own track
kept a neat furrow
a straight-arrow aiming steadfastly
to nowhere worth a mention.
