Autumn Afternoon

M. Lynne Metz

 

You,

my pony-tailed partner

post hiccup humorous

and piano fingers clamped atop

the bobble coiled motorcycle.

One lone pair on the Great Plains of the playground.

I ride side saddle for want of rear space.

A gust of chilled wind swoops down upon our charge

so we hunker down and huddle hard,

zoom through the tube, the tubulo

because there was Spanish-

And out.
