A man I did meet
stuck by his bicycle
in a thing
that the council had put there to greet
it was for him a great obstacle
but for me
well made me chuckle

Did not do a technical at school then
I did say
he looked at me maybe thinking
I wish this man wound go away
I stopped and looked
his pride, no panic
became more
he pushed and pulled
only in
as far as I can see
a bent back wheel as he road on his way, from me
I smiled.
