couple of weird poems
poem about bicycling: world whips whizzing through my tousled tresses wrinkled skirt flowing shirt click clack the tires click clack the metal click clack click clack my life clicking past wind at my fingers sigh of my soul sun diving slowly devouring heat gentles itself summer sweat tumbling from my forehead my feet, my legs demand strength i struggle against the altitude and ah! downhill once again and ah! freedom my feet trace the letters of a forgotten name that boy whose face i have not framed the road when steep we steady go, when falling: joy, reflection shows --------- jus' dis early morn ah peeped my head out de quilt an' like any smart child ah looked both ways ah saw momma an' freddie boy an' ally an' elliot but no mo' no mo' peoples peepin' on me dere dey was, jus' sleepin' an' dreamin' an' talkin' dis lil' chump jus' had ter see it de day befo' we'se had a fancy-fine white chap tells us ta lookin' dat well dere an' see de tamorrows yessir we'se say, yessir we'se b'leive'd, our eyes saucer-wide as it was nearin' dark, momma say no son, no son, no son no son ain't a gonna peep dat well tonight i'se too late stayin' up awready she say she knew tamorrow well nuff i'se be tired on tamorrow, she say sho' nuff my eyes'a playin' master tricks own me jus' dis early morn mah toes went tippy tap cross those ol' dirt floors till ah reached de dew cover'd grass, crabby as usual i tippy tap tapped cross de dew an' de well? de well. well, de well ah peeped in slow and cautionary, jus' a waitin' fer de future to come floodin' after a few mo' ......ran out of steam on that poem. it was supposed to be from a slave boy's eyes. i feel like people might consider me racist for writing something like this. we're learning about minstrelsy in history of rock, so it's been on my mind.
