Inspired by this me-me
seen on Nov 30
seen on Nov 30
after a not so great year
I am in Bend
With a friend
His name is Mike
He has a bike
The air is fresh
Autumn creeping
Summer fading
The world's a'changing
I borrow a bike
Adjust the seat
One more time
And yet again
We cross the river
Find that house with my dream garden*
Then off to lunch
Fish tacos yum yum yum
Back on the road
Riding the cruisers
I'm lost
I don't care
Just following my guide
We pass a small crowd
Wearing red hats
Protesting Pride
A scene of the times
A stop at a house
With free treats for dogs
The lady comes out
For a neighborly chat
She shares some fruit
I don't remember what
Ahhhhh, yes
Asian pears, that's what
We ride along the river
Up a big hill
Down a set of stairs
Or maybe I balked
Time for afternoon coffee
In a riverside cafe
Summer's drawing to a close
I sip and savor minimal clothes
We wrap up our ride
I return the bike
Pick up my keys
Back in my van
Driving north to winter
Flannel pants await
More medical appointments
A mystery unsolved
But for those few hours
Everything was great
*awkward sentence allowed to remain because that was my only goal for the day, to find a house I'd seen before but hadn't been able to find
