life force strong but a

sleep…a breath from death

teen-age male on
testosterone
in search of new
thrills-on-wheels
dreams of motorcycle;
engine roar combines
with speed’s blur…
wind-in-face freedom.

experience concern,
envision fragile-ness
of life-and-limb;
postpone possibility
until son leaves family nest…
