I've a New Bicycle

A 24-gear, lightweight, swift and comfy upright ride. I bought it used from craigslist for $120. It looks weird but it's a nice hybrid road/street bike.
The plan is to join the Portland Bridge Pedal with Celeste and Maggie's team. That's coming up August 14th.

Pele, Goddess of Awakening

I surge I pulse I throb
I am never still
I am perpetual vibration
a rhythmic beat
the constant hum that you hear
I am always moving
way down in the deeps
with fiery vitality
in places you can only feel
When necessary
with dramatic, fierce, volcanic eruptions
I wake you up
With lava and fire
I say "pay attention"
