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

Noisier, happier, August days

Frozen in brain cells now
