push a pedal in a circle
movement that drives a chain
over a cassette attached to a wheel
freedom attained
look at a bike
every part serves a function
the gears and derailleur look complex
derailleurs do what the name implies
they derail the chain onto the next gear
no magic
they push or pull until the shift is made
Dude that is some righteous verse... reminds me of one of my favorite poets... william carlos williams
ReplyDeleteThe Red Wheelbarrow
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
screw that... so much depends upon the bicycles
so much depends
upon
the bicycle
glazed with grime
or
sunshine
so much depends
upon
the bicycle
in the first world
the third
world,
and to you,
and
me.
