Poem-A-Day, April 11th

The Last Pedal Stroke

sometimes it's thrown down
with such force
with such brutality
as the bike
and rider
charge across the line

sometimes it's taken
with ease and confidence
simple sureness of victory
no fear
no contest

sometimes it's given up
with feelings of defeat
like today
today was just
not
my
day
