some more terrible poetry!

It's getting to be nicer out, and I started writing a little sappy/shitty poetry again. Enjoy!

can I accurately describe
these summer nights on the hill?
riding on the gray pavement
to meet kids in the streets
to find trouble in the night
to seek safe couches far away?
feel the crisp night air on your neck
the tightness in your fingers-
as you light your last cigarette
the wind blows past your face
and you wonder how it got so cold so quick
yeah, you've had a few drinks
but you'll get home just the same,
over that beautiful bridge
onto that pitch black trail
and over and over again
you just wish you could stop
just long enough to take in
all those breathtaking lights
and what this city is all about
but under your feet
the pedals they fly
'round and 'round
you spin-
you can feel the freeness in your soul
you know that these wheels
are taking you exactly where you want to be
and all I've ever needed
is right here,
with a bike underneath me.

have fun kittens! go ride a bike!

Thursday May 12

I'd like to go ahead and make some plans- so starting this coming Thursday MAY 12th- I'm re-starting the weekly ride.

When: 7pm
Where: Cal Anderson (by the courts)
Invite everyone you know who wants to join our little bike gang. When we meet up I am going to try and have a little route in mind, but we can determine where to ride by who shows up and what the mood is like. IF ITS RAINING/REALLY NASTY OUT WE WILL POSTPONE UNTIL NEXT WEEK. If you want to come and can't make it until later- let me know (leave me a message on my landline: 206-325-6350 or call Recycled Cycles 206-547-4491 and ask for me) and we can work something out. I want a big group if possible!

As usual, it'd be nice to know who can show up beforehand so I can plan it out a little... but, I'll just be happy if people show up!

Cheers Kittens!
