She planned a different life
She wanted peace
—a smooth ride
uncertainty breaks her brain
whenever is never an answer
—it is all she has
she pedals fast pushes
past green lights
stops at red……….waits
calf and thigh stretched
strong, hard, lean
cross-streets wiz by
—zoom, zip by on hot black tar
she thinks and her muscles ripple
strength strains to spin the wheels
it is all she has
