INSTANT

would have liked to hop on
a bike and follow the dream
was lucid
brief
vivid with his outline of a man
political in action and round in hub
protected by the cause
free to the point
my hands searched for a branch
to grasp the nature of his attraction
presence of the encounter
and abscence of an instant
learned not to wait
this bone is heavy
this thought is deep
my plan is civil
experimental
