we entered together
into the forest of humans
down streets aligned
in rows and curves
I sped ahead
left them behind
for them to find
their own way
I pedaled the pavement
hearing nothing
no barks or *****
no neighbors or cars
surely I would have found them by now
my mind was bending,
how much time was I spending?
will I ever make it back?
surely so,
though after every row,
i felt less and less at home
deeper into the zone
of bends and curves
when will i break?
