A cluster of assorted bicycles
Strewn in a yard yesterday afternoon
Trigger of a memory, a moment
A time in my life with simpler concerns
Summer bike parades, races
With streamers out the handles
Specially chosen baseball cards
Clothespinned to the spokes
Of the one-speed bikes
We all had
Noisier, happier August days
Flap, clatter, laugh, shouts
Frozen in brain cells now
To be unearthed
When serendipity strikes,
Breaking a knowing smile ‘cross my face
As I drive home
