Old Bike

Found you
In the shed when I moved in
I fixed your broken tire
After flipping through
A bicycle repair book

Now I ride you around
and park you
without even locking you up
because you are too free for chains

Plus if they take you
from where i park you
in the town square
It is more their gain
then my loss

I like the idea
Old bike
that I have given you
a new adventure
a few last rides

One day
when I am old like you
I hope
someone looks at me
and that favor is returned
because in me
they see that I
am not yet ready for
the trash heap
and instead
have a few more pedals in me
