The Two Wheeled Good (God?)

———————–

The Two-Wheeled Good (God?)

hardly stopped by very much

through rain snow and heat and sleet

driven home by pedalled feet

waterproof and wind resistant

long spun limbs turn on insistent

that no bus, train or car

or suited warming post-five bar

shall deviate them from their route

as dusk stalks day-glow on their shoot

With bike lights lit like Viking torches

to guide them soon-wet porches

dashing  back in one good stint

all fuelled by smugness for their

carbon foot prints

Fixed gear Haiku by Natalie

Fixed gear bicycle

The simple elegance of

Shit! Red light! Skid stop!

‘Nowhere to be’ by Pineapple

Nowhere to be.

The crowd is closing in,
grouping like a stockyard.
Elbows are bumping,
some hand grazed my hip.
The air is getting thicker, and stale.
Breathing, labored.
I’m close to panting.
My palms are sweating, more
than my armpits.
I keep wiping them on
the front of my jeans.
The pocket seams are moistening,
almost damp, like a San Francisco awning.
I try to move forward, then back.
Neither an escape.
I just stand there,
panting, sweating, hands
still brushing my pockets.
Looking for a way out.

A21.. written by my friend

If Hedgehogs could ride bikes,wouldnt it be fun,
sitting up straight with their spikey hemets on.
If hedgehogs could ride bikes wouldnt it be fun
they could enter bike races, along the A21.

‘No Cycling’

the sign at the reservoir says ‘No Cycling’

eight angry geese stand before me

how will i get my bicycle through?

it makes even them angrier

now, there are fifteen of the pesky birds

why can’t they put ‘No Geese’ signs

now i’d pay more council tax for that

The A21

I have no choice

but to cycle on the A21

tis the quickest way

In nature hedgehogs do the same

and look what happens

to them
