hop on and we’re off/humbling to have

 

tensions expressed, axis wobble

 

gears translate the force yet the knees

 

torque, something spine twitching impulse realign repeat

 

90 180 rhythm of the street

 

wheels whir a trail of rubber we leave

 

curb jumping, crack swerving, a pass with death

 

steel and plastic flash punch tunnels predetermined

 

but bikes go where they please

 

time to strengthen improve follow the

 

posted signs we’ll get there it’s not safer

 

synapse 2 synapse crossing the void

 

connection making stops round the pinball crash

 

brakes bite the end of life at a distance

 

tools bring us in2 ourselves, out2 ourselves

 

 

fuck Babylon, city of red

 

to split icy night

 

pushing through pedals

 

the noise self screaming eye can’t

 

distinguish time 2 review or create, bend and flex

 

missing pieces fill in texture

 

communication breakdown rush run the wheel

 

but whose 2 sort out, play it out

 

break it in, make this ours, make it work

 

 

I need a burst of energy

 

Just got a burst of energy

 

Push through 2 a burst of energy

 

 

These limits are habits we’re deadened 2

 

Fists slam on doors: wake up!

 

The city is burning/your mind’s asleep

 

Chanting apocalypse bleeding us off

 

So we’ll swallow their lie

 

And if I won’t live in your fantasy consumer world?

 

I’ve had enough of your bullshit

 

Seen the people broke down

 

Whole life living stooping low

 

Stop being so dodgy

 

Land, bend your knees, push off

 

Again, practice and it gets easier
