Cyclists in China


Once
effortless movement rippled
through the flow of people
Like waves following one another,
Interlinked
as they arrive at the many shores of deliverance
An invasion of turning cycles,
the sight magnificent
Hundreds of wheels
turning life forward on its momentum
Even the Humble automobile was forced to give way
to this brazen carefree attitude

Perhaps there were just too many of them
to do combat with
Gasoline burns out anyway
not like the sea of bicycles they return with the tide
They once moved forward
with effortless determination,
a wave powered by human spirit
and mixed emotion,
turning these wheels of numbered souls
Another cycle of life was ending,
as it surrendered
to a new era
and as another no better now begins

I think electric bicycles will become popular in the near future.
