I ride bicycle early in the morning. I peddle until I'm tired or until I'm bored but by then I'm far from home...St Rose or Kenner.I stop and stand with the frame between my legs. I stop and watch the cars going by on the windy road beneath me with all the souls and the lives I'll never touch and stories I won't know. The way that riding your bicycle for a while can steal your adrenaline is so nice and I let frustration and remorse flow through me like water although it gets stuck sometimes. I peddle home against the wind and it's hotter outside now and the birds aren't singing as loudly. Industry is everywhere and beatiful and horrible at the same time and reminds me of when the cops took my camera for taking a picture of a refinery. Chemical fires burn down the road. The ships on the river come from places I want to go but probably never will...Uruguay, Holland, Brazil, Panama, Korea, and one from France called Le Etolie. I buy travel manuels at library sales.
I used to ride bicycle with my best friend, but he moved away to his college and I stayed here for my college and now I only see him sometimes, and usually not on a bike. I think I like riding by myself better. Sometimes. It's getting hotter and there are more cars now and sometimes I don't want them to see me. I'm just tired now and hate people who drive like they own everything. They don't know anything. When I come home the cicadas are roaring. I make a fried egg and listen to NPR. I wonder if the rest of my life will be like this, and if so I think I'll be okay.
