I bought a cruiser bike instead of a mountain bike I’m a sextagenarian not a 30-something so every morning I pedal to the corner across from the Ritz-Carlton and the Montage next to the high-rent Pandemonde Café and count the Ferraris roaring by.
I never had a Ferrari but I did buy a ’96 Mustang once and souped it up with a supercharger which was around the time my doctor took me off testosterone because my prostate specific antigen was way too high
You have an inoperable prostate malignancy, he said after the biopsy You can’t take hormone replacement anymore It will **** you
And as I lean on my bike depressed about missing the rush of another boost of synthetic male hormone I enjoy watching the Europen speedsters streak by so proud of themselves in cars that cost more than my house.
I used to wish I was them used to feel like them when I was younger and charging hard but now I just utter prayers for each Lamborghini that goes by and I say I hope your car is faster than cancer.
