we are driving
and i start thinking
various peopel i see
could be god
and that is scary
because god is exaggerations
so i see people
like the man riding
a bike too small
for him and he
pedals on his toes
with his knees
shooting out
and his elboes
sticking up
like a
daddy long legs or
shadowed modern
ichabod crane
too serious and
at the same time
comical
but it is god
propelling him down
the street
like an unstoppable wedge
or pure force
