One little bike ride

One little bike ride 12 miles long

on a brand new bike I knew it was wrong,

I took that brand new chain and that brand new frame and I dragged them through the sand and the grit and the rain.

2 riders, 3 riders, 4 riders long

on that twilight trail where I belong

— the fox squirrel, the woodpecker, and my fat ass

Palmettos, the scrub, low clouds and tall grass.

Run Joey run Dan’s right behind, then me, then Melissa

then the forest, quiet, rain in the pines.

  1. Let’s see – twelve miles through the forest, with friends and your girl, on a new bike? I don’t think it can get much better than that. 🙂

  2. It could get better; someone buye him some new shorts! His poor missus is following something that can’t be unseen.
