the wind whips up
the white caps
ripping your hat off
to fly back floats out
sinks beneath the froth
spray soaking your hair
blearing your eyes
you drink without a cup
these are the days
most dont give a thought of
legs pushing feet pulling
on aluminum steel iron carbon links
televangelical spokes distributing
stress out to the humming rubber
pressed bladder back against
the gravel blacktop macadam ribbons
