Listen to the sound
Of children
Playing
Under the careful
Eye
Of matriarchs,
And the friable
Hold
Of the world suspended
By a thread.
Perhaps there is no
Safer
Sentinel
Than a wise grandmother’s trunk
Lifting
The future
Over her head.

Low to ground
Safe and sound
Sharing smiles all around
Their devotion
Abounds
As they glide
Side by side
Through the streets
In joyful ride.

Pink, greens, purple and some blues
Siamese white and yellow, too
A bike that somehow rose and flew
Graffiti that some hoodlums drew:
This building will stand out to you!

He may be a bit eccentric
And his music may be bold,
But his mama will be happy
That his head will not be cold,
That someone is watching over
Just in case he should be told,
That it is time to eat the snack
Before his energy will fold.

When the day has been long
And all parking spots taken
Why not hoist up your bike
To lighten up expectation?

A wave
A blast of horn,
Afternoon outing
For the honking
Brave.
