A boy told me br if he roller-skated fast enough br his loneliness couldn't catch up to him, br br the best reason I ever heard br for trying to be a champion. br br What I wonder tonight br pedaling hard down King William Street br is if it translates to bicycles. br br A victory! To leave your loneliness br panting behind you on some street corner br while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas, br pink petals that have never felt loneliness, br no matter how slowly they fell.
