The Daily Dread
Yesterday
as I pore over
volumes of forgotten lore
forgot to bookmark 🔖
A Bloody Mary
Moth on it's celery stalk
Is it an omen 🪬
Old pump organ play
Pull out one stop at a time
To find my timbre
my first full size bike
pieced together from spare parts
rolling chimera
a full sized Schwinn frame
spray painted sky blue, leopard
print banana seat
high rise handlebars
a big rear view mirror clamped on
for my first test ride
looking in mirror
and not where I was going
fell off, mirror broke
The weasel with the
easel was no Paladin.
Always ready to
connect with Botticelli
babes eager to misbehave

A Scroll Threw Life 
Blue Schwinn with the playing card clothespinned to the spokes. Roaring down the street like a Hells Angel wannabe.
indeed. Not a helmet in sight. Vroom Vroom
Nostalgia at its finest.
