He looks up from the black faceless
Expanse of road in front of him.
A foam plastic shell obstructs his vision
Enough to just bother him.
He lifts the helmet off his head
Leaving his balance to practice.
The cold molded steel under his body
Grumbling softly in response.
The leather seat
A friend eager for the wind
The handlebars
A path to glory.
The smell of pine
From the lumber mill
As it saws and saws
Under the night glow
The brush of cool air
On the flickering eyes
Now seeing the full expanse
The motor
A gesture of freedom
The body
A metal knife through the air
