I'm just going to ride until I can't feel my legs.
No bills.
No address changes.
No weekend workdays.
No mistakes.
If I were'nt in the city I'd ride on quiet roads, through tall trees, in places where I'd occasionally be forced onto the gravel shoulder by logging trucks.
I would ride past dusk and when I could'nt make another revolution I would wander off into the trees and sleep.
But I'm in the city so I'll ride where I can. Through the industrial part of town with it's artists lofts in dirty building, broken windows of abandoned warehouses, cars cars cars and more cars. I'll constantly look over my shoulder and all too often be forced further into the gutter than I'd care to ride. Too close to the storm drains and too close to the cars with no comfort in-between.
I won't sleep outside but I hope my legs give out and I have to walk up the hill back to my home. I hope the climb up to my bed will be excruciating. I hope the sleep will be hard. I hope I don't have to think about all these fucking changes before I pass off the conscious plain.
