The World’s Greatest Tricycle Rider
by C.K. Williams
The world’s greatest tricycle-rider
is in my heart, riding like a wildman,
no hands, almost upside down along
the walls and over the high curbs
and stoops, his bell rapid firing,
the sun spinning in his spokes like a flame.
I won’t give you the second verse. It gets all grownup: big and serious and old. Dude, get a bigger tricycle and ride on!
