A Bike Ride To Enlightenment Poem by Chuy Amante

It was way better than anticipated

Scary as hell, I mean heaven, at first

jumping blindly off the known Earth

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is exhilarating!

On the tandem bike we ride
sitting hard on our hide
she's up front and makes all decisions
I just hope we don't have any collisions

I push and pedal and man my muscle
she screams '$#! T' but we still hustle

'Go big, baby GO! ' Is all I ever say
I close my eyes and pedal
there's only today!

you set the course
I'll be the gas
let's pedal in your direction
laughing off our ass!
