Thirteen
All chrome and shiny black enamel, with handbrakes and three speeds
Freedom from classroom tyranny, parental supervision and school bullies
At least for now…
Super heated air, cooled only by speed, rushes past, hair flying out behind
Muscles pumping, heart racing, fear nowhere in sight
At least for now…
Serenity, peace, excitement, joy! So many good feelings, almost overwhelming
Almost…
No destination, just going, riding, flying…
My black charger carrying me off to a better place
At least for now…
