Riding Again
Awkwardly, clumsily, fumblingly
First time on a bike in years
My tangled, mangled, stupid strings
Are caught, no seized, within the gears
Twas once a task easy in nature
Riding no-hands, proud and free
Until I fell and cracked my head
And broke two ribs and smashed my knee
After the wreck, things weren't the same
Tried to ride but was afraid
Didn't feel free but was ashamed
Parked my bike to flee being maimed
But now here I am trying again
'Time heals all wounds' guess it's true
Cause I'm gonna ride tight-gripped-awkward
Well, after untangling my shoe!
