Futility in Motion

Poetry? Yeah I do that sometimes, sorry...

It should maybe be called Futility of Motion but whatever. Text after the break

I went for a bike ride
after bar-close
to see the world
in shades of golden gray.

I made break-neck speeds
down empty streets
skidded helpless over ice
and well packed snow.

I blew through stop signs
and traffic lights
past weaving pedestrians
on the look out for cops.

I found myself
at the same cafe
as the rest of the night shift rejects
kept company
by one dollar coffee
no room for cream.
