That's what I'm doing today,
riding my bike to work.
I love the feel
of the wind pushing past me,
the strength in my legs,
the thrill of downhill
and the workout up inclines.
I love travelling
under my own power,
leaving no emissions but
my breath.
I take quiet streets
(where leaves whisper)
amazed at bountiful beautiful blossoms
and wafting fragrances
enveloping me
here and there.
Oh, you poor, poor people,
driving.
Unless it's pouring!
