morning ride

rode this morning from my place
via Yarra Boulevard
amid all the bibshort monkeys on their crabon machines
to C'wood then back along
Queens Pde
which is here
for a coffee

my favourite PSAs in Melbourne are
on the bins themselves
all featuring the crappest
grumpy animals yelling at you

coming up from Darebin Creek ravine
almost native bushland
a magic time of morning

this was my steed

a stripped-down Victor
much more a racing machine now

without his rear packrack
