the thriftstore bike repair manual
on page 53  warned me sternly
in a 7th grade shop teacher way
to “avoid creeping decay”

oh so subtle from day to day
over time     adding up
until suddenly       it seems
my bike sucks

normal wear and tear
just riding along
the rise & fall of the messenger bike
the decline of the foul-weather commuter

lean it against the wall at night
reach for it the next day
hoping that it’s good enough
to go again

this Wednesday morning at 7:59am
a Top-10 list of activities
I do not enjoy  includes
bike maintenance

I bet they have one minute bike whatever needs fixing in Alaska. I can see it from here.

In Alaska when your bike breaks you find some hipster dipshit from Seattle slap the smug out of 'em and take their tricked out fixie
