Susan Hawthorne #60 two minutes on a country road (inspired by Efi Hatzimanolis)

it takes no time at all

to aim the bicycle at the tree

it's a cedar

my brother and I have

played Tarzan and Jane

at every level of this tree

you get the bicycle face on 

pedal as fast as you can

heading straight for that branch

in the tree we have swung like apes

made loud Tarzan calls

leapt to the gravelly ground

at the branch you let go

raise your arms high and swing
watch the bike crash spraying dust
