Enjoying work 
some exercise 
music riding the poetry of ordinary life
returned from Cote-Nord along the Saint Lawrence
riding into a headwind 30 miles per hour
savoring it with five glove pairs
boots and rain suit impervious
full-face helmet and shield
knit skull-cap and
cargo ship to Labrador
coldest July in 20 years 
some said coldest yet
rain absent sun in the black and blue sky 
landscape and sea
riding hungry eye at the edge of the world
what is there to push against.
