what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

sometimes there’s a
subtle sense that something
is  not  quite  right
on a slow grind up the hill
I catch an eye catching silver sliver
glint of late September sunshine
reflecting off curly cue strands of steel
sprouting near the bottom bracket
the look
the feel
the sound
of threads stripping
the smell of metal fatigue
7th grade shop class reminiscent
it’s a long walk home
in these shoes with
time to think of
loose balls
crank arm extractors
jerry-rigged Italian BB setups
multi-purpose marine grease
power to weight ratios
and    wait

phone rings 
caller ID reads    J-B WELD



Who is this?

This is it.

I appreciate full disclosure from eBay sellers

ummm...i think this is a little bit of genius.

if I could take you someplace you didn't expect to go and bring you back again, then, I'd be happy, for a moment. and when I say you, I mean you

how ya like me now?
