a bike messenger and a pay phone
What year is this?

12 years ago today
was my first day
at Elliott Bay
07 Mark                      I was
on a Rockhopper with bar ends and
required to wear a skanky purple jersey
on a day much like this one         except
it was 85 and sunny

Our radios were huge        bricks
Zone One was bigger         the biggest
Messenger bags were         smaller Timbuk 2

We had 15 riders in purple jerseys and vests
Fleetfoot had 15 or more and more attitude
Buckys had 20 in blue helmet covers
ABC had 25 on company bikes
as well as:
Jet City
MDR
PNP
PM
IPW
ENA
Zen
Stealth
NW Legal
Seattle  Legal
Washington Legal       and
KnR was a guy named Art from Buckys
Halo was a guy named Fever from SeaLeg

That's not what pay phones looked like 15 years ago when a sweaty fast talking guy shoved a handful of quarters my direction & told me to call him every 15 minutes to find out where to go. I figured out soon that those same quarters fit well in pinball machines & you could call base on courtesy phones.
