NOT KEWL
The first step to changing
Don’t say
Dude
Chick
Is insulting
Riding our 10 speeds
the road to Lake Mary seemed flat
I could see you ahead
or would look back
to make sure you followed
On the bikes
our sweaty clothes
hung drying
In the early spring warmth
with the sparkle of the sun
on the cold water
and our goose pimpled skin
we splashed
Turning
and smiling
You made me your focus
Billie Jean beat Bobby
You said
boy
we need to raise
your consciousness
This does what a poem should--it gives of a sense of time and place using concrete details and sensory imagery.. and at the same time tells us a bit about ourselves and what it means to be human. Nice!
