Chopin

he arrives on a purple bicycle
because he’s playful like that
but he’s wearing elegance
-------white pants -------blue shirt

looks at you with piercing dart-like eyes
and you get on your bike and follow

through gentle rolling hills
sometimes slowing to catch the beauty
sometimes speeding down a slope letting the wind
stream tears from your eyes

and then he stops and lays a blanket on the grass
and he tells of the dance of life
as if that’s all there is to living

but his brilliance and quick words
-------convince

and you eye the slow turning wheel of
the purple bicycle lying on the grass
