Beating Heart, Dancing Feet  

  En Route


You rode your shiny bike
through the shade of big

shade trees and across blazing
pavements and plazas en route

to your destination, your t-shirt
tied to the handlebar, your feet

spinning in a high gear, your spine
curved and catching the sun

in your aloof and effortless sweat—
the bill of your hat shading your

neck.  The dark signs of manhood
still blond on your breastplate.
