boy and bike

there are strips of 
black 
rubber 
on the sidewalk outside his home 

this is what he does on red bicycle 
at superspeed 
all the way from the corner 
legs piston pedals 
hands steering with no fear 

until he’s suddenly here 
and the foot kicks back 
locking brakes 
and he skids to a stop 
ready for the next trip 
    the next challenge 
        the next season 
to make his mark
