How can I find how can I
find the words the words to tell
you what it's like to ride across
to ride across town with my son
my son all of two and a half
half way between handlebars
and seat he sits and watches
watches mostly holds on he holds
different parts of the handlebars
the handlebars we steer together
over bumps over bumps quick
through corners the light exclaims
the day! the day! the day diminishes
for no one who continues who continues
to repeat the words of lingering
lingering at the edge of our ears
his ears and mine hearing the city
swirl and rattle over each of us
each of us according to our loves
we love the mist the water that was
that is
