Journalist Gone Bad

it is just about the bike now
it is a war
against the machine
such is cycling
it is a drug
against the machine
me
i write on different levels
but it comes back
on lonesome track
to the bike
that restless feel
of tongue and heel and
the last
turn
of the pedal
 

 

 

 

 

and whispers float faintly on the breeze...

(blue flash rides
with the bike, against the bike
with himself, against...)

(fights weather too
glorious sun days
are few for you)

(i think of hangmanstone
sharp right
past purple flowers
farm track)

(pay respects
walk and rest)

(don't forget
the stone
is by the crossroads...)

(fast down
past roman fort
of old
alone)

(turn sharp again
mind the gravel
no flinching here
high melton
and home)

(but this day the blue flash
rides for me)
