Roman

Velocipede Flush

The bicycle diaries are cards spoked 
to tell machine stories to hamstrings
who are strung a roll too tight

Queen and Jack and eight of hubs
played on easy chains --- smoker
ruins pedal potent unlike viscous rains

Greasy journal tells the dirt
maybe you stay here; cleaning 
cloth beguiles besmirch

Hand bars to brake fingers,
shift digits analog and stand
without a seat

Parts relate to gestalt oration
spun to clap the road --- rubber
cuddles concrete stones
