Riding a bike in a snowstorm

Not sure why
except my bicycle has studded snow tires
and the windshield of the car is covered in snow.
not a very good reason
except I hate driving, and it's been so dry
this winter, my bicycle calls out when there is snow on the ground
and it's coming down fast
pinging against my eyelashes
drenching my thighs as it melts onto warm courdoroy
it's damn cold out here
so I come up with good reasons to tell my teacher
why I rode my bike to lesson
with two flutes on my back and music
a hairtie holding my pant leg from catching the chain
he's not sure why I rode my bike to lesson
he said I'm crazy,
succint as usual.
