A hot summer day scorching
an already tender body.
Skin peeling,
all sundried and wrinkled.
That is why there is an advantage
to riding a bike
at such a young age.
listening to the tar bubbles pop
as you pass,
like stone age bubblewrap.
The tar seem to melt
to the tires...
better than it melting
to your feet.
That is why riding a bike
is the safest way
to avoid heart break,
because tires can be replaced
but your feet are with you forever.
So no need to stain them
especially at such a young age.
