Stand Up and Soar

A Poem to Black Birdie
Skiing, skating, floating
in air, wind in hair, surfing anywhere.
what makes it go?
it's all me baby, all me.

the glide back and forth
under my feet
the swish swish of the tires
a tribal swing
a metronome in motion, a waltz with the wind.

It's like asking - why fly like a bird-
don't we all want to stand up and soar?
