ain't goin out like that

September 6, 2012

when spokes start breaking  
it’s a sign a   
wabi sabi memento mori                      
visual audible contextual
lifespan reminder note to self
kinda sorta like nothing lives forever
exactly like when the neighbors hire a contractor to build a big deluxe wheelchair ramp for grandpa onto their front porch with two switchbacks and a country mile’s worth of slip-resistant tape


it’s the beginning of the end


commencement  


an unhealthy attachment to a ballpoint pen

 

 

it’s not a linear progression
it’s a cycle
coming back around again
clockwise
when viewed from the drive side
which is true
even in the southern hemisphere

like Sally said, 40 is the new fixie

I once went out like that, always trying not to do it again.
