smirk smike crash

im waiting for the exhaustion
i felt an hour ago
to kick back in
perhaps the coffee is finally working
too late
the bike ride home
as always
woke me a bit
but i can still feel the creeping ache
through muscles tendon and joint
of yawning tiredness

i tell myself i will go out
and run again tomorrow
that three times a week
is a good goal to have
but im not sure it will happen
nor be wise
after all
riding downtown
and then for all of critical mass
i may not have legs by the end.

legs i will need for a weekend worth of bands
ahhh pitchfork
i suppose i ought to pack a bag for you
but id rather sleep at home tomorrow
unlikely as it will be
to actually happen
perhaps the minimum will fit.
though as i plan to wear a wedding dress to mass...
ha ha ha.
mass...

friends going over handlebars is bad
friends getting flat tires is not as bad
bike issues
better than death
but hell
i hate hearing about them
and being helpless.
im adding an emergency kit to my bag
to go with my tube patch kit.
patch it up...
just have to see if i can get
some medical grade super glue.
