The Way Of It

With the compressed exuberance of a schoolroom full of children penned
Spilled then to the play yard uncontained 
There bravely apart will always stand
The One boy

On the outside looking in 
With a sing-song strong voice no one will hear
Quick to smile eyes that yet catch no gaze 
An uncommon courage the only company, she stands back, knowing her place 

Sleek Retro Racers

If I were a motorcycle
I’d not wear a radio
Music to me matters too much

I would hope my handler
Would hold fast to my handlebars
She’d perfect my growl, I’d protect her glee

We’d wander where the warm days
Roar quiet into forked roads 
Riding together, torque and leather
