We ride bikes
to parks in our heads
and pedal our bodies
to safe-ish places
in our beds.
We spend cash
in eight minutes,
that we worked
eight hours for.
We talk about
our ceiling
but are content
at our floor.
We experience
suicidal ideation,
on a day-to-day stasis,
and insure our
troubled vessels,
on a six month to
twelve month basis.
We ride bikes
alongside trainless tracks
and wrestle, naked,
on our backs,
smothering the grass,
muddied past our feet,
we ride our bikes, incomplete.

We experience

We ride bikes
alongside trainless tracks
and wrestle, naked,
on our backs,
smothering the grass,
muddied past our feet,
we ride our bikes, incomplete.
