Life Cycles
so peddles like pistons
passed like a rush
racing home
lycra stretching tight cleats
speaking, spokes
spinning, not yarns,
we crossed The Line, finished,
tape lifted, we shifted
the cheque, a flag
No petrol cars, no motored
bikes, just human sweat, sweet
sweat, such a sweet feat.
as road rides up, mountain leaves,
the funnel once lit, now darkens
as nature sees new ridge of trees
out of hard wood, balsa birch lights,
she came soaring, a wise child, sharing,
thoughts pro, found.
exclaimed The Shining
Spoke The Wheel, Get On Your Bikes
she turned and uttered, slowly;
"not crazy, just in sane ways
I see far, a hell hot horizon
grows, burning worlds
whilst he and he and he
(pointing pointedly at peloton masters)
all sit so merrily, adding adding offset
carbon frames to Our Life Cycle Flames"
