Scoot.....

Urban Flyer


Humming down a sidewalk.
Emissions free
Bobbing
Weaving

Tree lined streets
with rough pavement
Barking dogs
and the smell of wet grass

Wind at my back
An extra 3 mph
With a watchful eye
for cross traffic

Up and over
Pedestrian bridge
Vaulting the freeway
Where thousands wait
Idling

Skirting past the sleeping drunk.
Hindered by the traffic light
My own little third world
Isn't such a bad place



(a homage to my $70 electric scooter salvaged from the thrift store. With only a mile and half to my office, it is the best commuter vehicle I have ever owned.)
