The dealership after winter looks like dreams come true
new bikes warm and gleaming on the showroom floor
used bikes for sale in front of the store
after a few moments more
battery charged
fresh synthetic oil and
washed like the day it was born
mine is rolled from the storage garage
a huge guy helped reseat my saddlebags because I’d forgotten how
Dawn helped with the zippers on my chaps
after a few miles I remembered the electronic windscreen and handgrip heat
the world a little older
rotating under
the motorcycle seat.
