One sunny evening
On the green
O crowd
Assembled patiently
Peering, shifting
Eyes follow
The stream of young
Hands and mallets.
Stillness in place
Then one quick
Solitary burst
As spark
Cranks the engine.
Arms become pistons
Gears of wood
All leap aboard
This little journey
Striking fever pace
Bouncing on lanes
Bicycles with
Chromatic wheels
Somersaulting
Bits of color
Fragments of sound
Symmetrically refracted
Collected by
A crowd
An open heart
And brighter times.
