my new bike

I got my new bike today

tomorrow I'll kick ass.

those  who have whizzed by me all these years

they will only see a streak of red go by

and feel the wind against their faces

I'll disappear into the distance

leaving them far behind

I'll feel so strong, so powerful.

no more stressing about working out,

about not working out.

I'd rather write poetry and make music.

tonight I'd watch TV but my love

is too tired so I'll read my book

and fall asleep, dreaming of my

new bike.
